Mr. Speaker, I want to highlight something my colleague talked about, and that is seniors. We know how vulnerable seniors are right now, from so many different directions, especially the cost of living.
One thing I heard on the doorstep in this election and over the last year that I have never heard before is the amount of fraud that is taking place. A constituent of mine shared with me that he lost $150,000 to bank fraud. The gentleman had to go back to work; he came out of retirement. Another person, whom I met at the pool, lost $20,000.
My colleague knows there has been a report tabled at the public safety committee, on which there is still no action, to hold financial institutions to account and to ensure that the CRTC and communication companies are doing their job in their role. This may be a non-partisan opportunity for us to come together and defend our constituents.
Does my colleague agree that the government needs to take urgent action to protect seniors especially, who are vulnerable to fraud? Does she too see fraud escalating in her community and her riding?
