Mr. Speaker, Claims · 87 wordsI rise today on behalf of the seniors in Essex, who, after a lifetime of hard work, paying taxes and supporting both older and younger generations, are now struggling to make ends meet. One senior wrote to me, “With the rising cost of living in all aspects of our economy: food, gas, utilities, insurance, taxes, we are finding it increasingly difficult to afford even the basic items of necessity and comfort, let alone luxuries.” Across Essex and throughout Canada, seniors are being forced to make impossible choices. Positioning · 15 wordsThey deserve better. The Liberals are out of touch while Canadians are out of money.Positioning Claims · 40 wordsConservatives have a plan to bring spending under control by cutting wasteful bureaucracy and foreign aid and to deliver relief to hard-working Canadians so seniors can keep more of their hard-earned money and enjoy the retirement that they have earned.
