Mr. Speaker, I can recall, in the 2010 by-election, knocking on doors during the German Canadian Congress. There were a number of homes in that particular block, where seniors were saying to me they cannot even afford to get the medications they require, so much so that some of them were actually eating dog food, pet food.
I want to fast-forward to our health care investments, housing investments, pharmacare investments and dental care program investments. There is the age 75-plus enhancement. We have increased the guaranteed income supplement, which lifted literally thousands of seniors out of poverty.
Contrast this with a Conservative government and the member's leader. They wanted to increase the age of eligibility for the OAS from 65 to 67. Just now the member said that they were not going to claw back the GIS. The member is saying that if someone who is collecting GIS gets a job for $25,000 a year, the Conservatives would not claw back the GIS. Does that mean they would enhance the OAS to match what they would be giving as a replacement for the so-called clawback?
In other words, their policy stinks.
