Mr. Speaker, I enjoyed being on the status of women committee with the hon. member.
As the critic for seniors, I have a question we need to address.
According to Statistics Canada, there were 6.8 million seniors representing 18.5% of the population in 2021, and this will grow to 25% in 2036. In my riding, seniors have to look for work because they cannot afford their expenses and have to choose between heating and eating. I am concerned that, because of the high unemployment rate, they cannot find work to continue to survive.
How can we address this if the current government continues to waste money and cause inflation to go up?
