Mr. Speaker, that response was frankly embarrassing.
The government talks a good game, but there are retirees who have been waiting nine months for their cheques. That is shameful. Worse still, an internal report criticized a departmental procedure that orders civil servants to hide the truth from the public. They are formally prohibited from mentioning the name of the Cúram software to explain these unacceptable delays.
Why is the minister so determined to cover up her incompetence rather than ensuring that our seniors receive their pensions on time? They need the money.
