Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for his question and comments.
First, I believe that our colleague from Kingston and the Islands should have appreciated the impromptu promotion he was just offered.
I want to say that I find it quite odd to hear the government speak of making cuts so that the increases are fair, rather than just making the increases fair, especially when it has spent billions of dollars—quite recklessly, some might say—to help just about everyone and every business. The government likes to brag about that, and perhaps it just has a hard time treating all seniors 65 and up fairly.
It is not a matter of making cuts. They just need to treat our seniors fairly.
