Mr. Speaker, if I have to choose between the minister and the Auditor General, I am going to believe the Auditor General every time.
The Auditor General has shown that the federal government does not know whether its programs really meet seniors' needs. The Liberals do know because they have no evidence. They do not know this, but they claim to know that seniors aged 65 to 74 are too wealthy to deserve a 10% pension increase. That much they know. They also know that retirees are far too wealthy to deserve a $250 cheque, even though it is being offered to people earning up to $150,000 a year. That much they know.
Do they also know that seniors are disgusted about being treated with such contempt?
