Madam Speaker, I understand why the debate is getting heated, because what we are talking about is important. I am happy that my colleague is speaking out on behalf of seniors in her riding because I, too, have seniors in my riding who are contacting me and calling our offices. They tell us how hard life is for them because they do not have the ability to work to increase their income, in many cases, and they have to deal with the rising cost of living.
What does my colleague think of the request we made to the government, though we did not receive a response, about increasing old age security by 10% for people aged 65 to 74 to give them a bit of a helping hand?
