Mr. Speaker, the Auditor General's report proves that the Liberals really do not care about seniors. Consider this. The federal government has no idea whether its programs, like old age security, are actually meeting people's needs. The Liberals do not know whether the indexing formula for OAS corresponds to the actual inflation rate. They do not have any data on whether more needs to be done for seniors. If they do get any data, like the data from the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, that prove that their national housing strategy is failing seniors, they just shelve it.
How do they justify having the temerity to lecture seniors? How do they justify telling seniors that they are too rich to deserve more help?
