Mr. Speaker, I will try to be brief, but I want to make three points.
By the way, we do not say “our seniors” because seniors do not belong to anyone. I invite my colleague to stop using the term “our seniors”. We say “seniors”.
First, how can they boast about helping seniors by pointing to the New Horizons for Seniors program without any consideration for the fact that seniors's pockets are empty and that their OAS is not indexed to allow them to cope with the cost of living? There was no increase for seniors 65 to 74.
Second, how can they boast about helping local media when they are satisfied with the local journalism initiative and investments in Radio‑Canada while completely abandoning community media and private media?
Third, how can they boast about helping businesses? No one is talking about it, but the government did not respond to their request to address the labour shortage. They asked for a grandfather clause for temporary foreign workers. This is an important request back home.
What does my colleague think about that?
