Bernard Généreux Conservative
“Twice as many seniors cannot afford to retire because the cost of living keeps rising, while the government keeps spending money. What will the Prime Minister do to help seniors?”
“Mr. Speaker, after a lifetime of working, twice as many seniors can no longer afford to retire and have to keep working past age 65 just to make ends meet. That is alarming. The price of everything, including groceries, rent and gas, is going up. Many people now have to count every penny, even after a lifetime of work, and have to find a second career. Meanwhile, the Prime Minister continues to rack up charges on the nation’s limitless credit card. My question is simple. What does the Prime Minister intend to do to truly help our seniors?”
