Madam Speaker, we need to talk about the precarious financial situation retirees are facing.
I would like to begin by reminding the Liberals that seniors are listening to us and they expect their elected representatives to stop playing politics when it comes to their living conditions. The fact that seniors aged 65 to 74 receive 10% less in old age security benefits than older seniors simply cannot be justified, given that they face the same cost of living. There is no way to justify creating two classes of seniors. There is no way to justify financial discrimination based on age.
Will the government put an end to that, or will it have to justify itself in an election?
