Mr. Speaker, we are going to stand by our record of defending seniors. On multiple occasions in this chamber over the last nine years, we have done things like change the retirement age from 67, as proposed by the Harper Conservatives, back down to 65; made targeted investments to improve old age security for those over the age of 75; most recently, we have put in place a dental care plan for seniors that has had, despite assertions by the Conservatives that it does not even exist, two million people sign up and over one million people actually receive services for the first time in decades. That is a record of serving seniors, assisting seniors and meeting them where they are. We will stand by that record.
In the House of Commons on December 9th, 2024. See this statement in context.
