Mr. Speaker, I am going to pick up on a question about seniors that the member for Guelph put to my colleague. I would like to note that I am a bit surprised by this lack of sensitivity. In the last Parliament, the bill to increase old age security for seniors aged 65 to 74 received unanimous support. Even the Liberals voted for it. Everyone acknowledged that indexing the pension was no longer enough and that people on fixed incomes could no longer make ends meet because of inflation.
We have been talking about food banks, where more and more seniors are asking for help. Just before the budget was tabled, the Fédération de l'Âge d'Or du Québec, or FADOQ, told me that its members are no longer able to make ends meet, so this budget has to do something for seniors.
During our constituency week, I spoke with the Association québécoise de défense des droits des personnes retraitées et préretraitées, or AQDR, which advocates for the rights of people who are retired or approaching retirement. I talked with its representatives. Things are not working anymore. They want us to bring this issue forward again. They do not understand why this government cares so little about the seniors who built Quebec.
What are my colleague's thoughts on that?
