Madam Speaker, I would like to begin by commending the speech by my esteemed colleague from Joliette, whose speeches are always well structured. That is evident here, and I think it inspires confidence in my colleagues too, based on comments we have heard from other members of the various parties.
As everyone knows, increasing old age security is a key issue for the Bloc Québécois. In my region, in the Lower St. Lawrence, one in four people is over 65. Within 20 years, it will be one in three. This means that the wave will hit us before it hits the other regions of Quebec.
My colleague talked about dignity and responsibility, but also about recognizing the folks who built the Quebec we know today. I would like him to confirm once again that we need to move forward and increase old age security for all seniors, especially those aged 65 to 74, who are currently being discriminated against.
