Mr. Speaker, the Liberals' decision to abandon seniors is heartless. The insinuations that seniors are too rich to deserve a pension increase are shameful.
There are seniors in Quebec whose pension is their only source of income. These people do not have any financial leeway to deal with rent increases. They do not have a rainy day fund to deal with the cost of replacing a vehicle, even with a used one. They are putting food back on the shelves at the supermarket.
Why would the Liberals rather risk an election than help seniors?
