Madam Speaker, I thank my distinguished colleague from Lac-Saint-Jean for his question.
He is absolutely right to raise this point. That is basically what I was trying to highlight in my response to the first question. The Liberals are very good at making generic speeches. They say they are going to help seniors but, in their minds, that might mean a small increase to the GIS for the poorest seniors, and it would be a very small increase because that costs less.
However, when we want to properly improve people's standard of living, when we want to build Quebec and Canada, we are told that $3 billion a year is far too expensive to improve the standard of living for seniors, people we should respect.
At the same time, they spent $6 billion before the holidays to scrap the tax on chips. That was not too expensive. They also spent billions of dollars refunding the carbon tax, even though people had not even paid it. They pulled that off by pilfering $814 million of our money. That was not too expensive either.
They choose who they are going to give the money to. I find that shocking and shameful. I hope people will realize that.
