Joël Lightbound Liberal
“Canada's economy is doing well compared to other rich countries. Conservatives say they support seniors, but they voted against our dental plan. That plan helps over 32,000 people, including seniors, in the member's own riding.”
“Mr. Speaker, I see the member is all smiles. I must remind him that, according to the International Monetary Fund, Canada has the best fiscal position and the second-fastest growth in the G7. Now, it is always strange to see the Conservatives claim to be standing up for seniors when they have systematically voted against measures that directly help seniors. I will remind my colleague of one. There are 32,456 people in his riding, including many seniors, who benefit from the Canadian dental care plan, which he opposes. Maybe he should reconsider his values.”
