Mr. Speaker, of course we thank Feed Ontario and the food banks across this country that do amazing work. Let me quote from the report that was just mentioned: “In June 2022, those over the age of 75 received a permanent 10 per cent increase in Old Age Security ... alongside the regular inflationary increases... After that change, the percentage of food bank visitors who were seniors began to decrease.” With this, in addition to the measures we put forward for families, we will continue to deliver for Canadians while the Conservatives oppose at every opportunity.
In the House of Commons on December 2nd, 2024. See this statement in context.
