Madam Speaker, I will get a chance a bit later to add some more thoughts on the issue, but for now I will say that we love our seniors. As a government, virtually from day one, there have been dramatic increases to the GIS to ensure that we support our seniors. We have lifted literally hundreds of thousands of them out of poverty by that one policy initiative.
Fast-forward to the pandemic. During the pandemic, one-time payments were given to seniors. Fast-forward to the millions and millions that we provide toward programming, which ultimately supports seniors in all the different regions of the country.
I believe that as a government, hopefully going forward, as in the past, we will be able to continue these types of supports for our seniors.
