Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague and commend her for her dedication to the plight of seniors. The Bloc Québécois is lucky to have her. She gives a voice to seniors in the House of Commons. If not for the Bloc, no one would be talking about seniors here.
To answer her question, seniors talk to us in our ridings. Twenty per cent of my constituents are seniors aged 65 and over. Quebec and British Columbia have highest aging rates in Canada. Some seniors have worked their entire lives and yet they cannot afford their rent. There is not enough social housing or low-cost housing. When we see that we wonder if the same thing is happening in our riding.
I am little surprised by my colleague opposite's insensitivity when it comes to the plight of seniors. I think that more detailed discussions on that topic would be worthwhile to improve his knowledge.
