Madam Speaker, I salute my colleague, who represents a neighbouring riding. Between us lies the magnificent Chaleur Bay.
We have something else in common. Our ridings have aging populations. Seniors are particularly vulnerable to financial insecurity. Many of them cannot increase their income, so the rising cost of living is hitting them hard. They are having to make virtually impossible choices.
The Bloc Québécois wants to increase old age security for seniors aged 65 to 74. Doing so would cost $3 billion a year. It is a meaningful way to help seniors. What are my colleague's thoughts on that?
