Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague across the aisle for her question.
I do not agree at all with her conclusion.
Earlier, I gave the example of Jeannine, a 79-year-old woman in my riding. She was doing well until her husband died and she began receiving only one pension. The increase we are proposing will make a difference in her life, so she can buy all the food she needs instead of skipping meals to pay the rent.
