Petitions May 26th, 2015
Mr. Speaker, I have two petitions to present this morning.
The first is signed by hundreds of people across Canada who are calling on the government to eliminate the tax on feminine hygiene products. An opposition motion has already been supported by all of the parties, and the petitioners really want the government to implement the motion it supported. The NDP and the petitioners believe that this tax is sexist and that it should be eliminated.

Mr. Chair, for the minister's information, Statistics Canada says it is 28.5%.
The OECD has shown that although poverty rates among seniors in other countries dropped between 2007 and 2010, poverty rates are rising in Canada.
Why did the Conservatives choose to make things worse by raising the age of eligibility for old age security?
