Madam Speaker, I recently visited my colleague from Cambridge's riding and we were shocked to find out that from 2015 to 2024, there was 50 million dollars' worth of scams toward our seniors. The government has done nothing to protect them.
I received a note from an individual named Kathy. She said, “Thank you for being a voice for seniors as it is heartbreaking what seniors have to endure to survive! I am a PSW and I have watched seniors insisting I don't waste [spoiled] fruit or vegetables, they will find a way to eat it! I have seen them eating one egg, splitting a piece of toast”.
I see my colleagues find this very funny, but they will not be laughing if they listen to the seniors who cannot afford to eat.
