Mélanie Joly Liberal
“Our government supports seniors. We lowered the retirement age to 65, which the member voted against, and we are working to lower grocery costs. I want to work with him to help seniors with their money problems.”
“Mr. Speaker, we are there for seniors, in fact. That is why every time we release a new economic announcement, we are thinking about how we can protect them. We were in favour of lowering the retirement age to 65, but my colleague voted against that. Not only that, but we are there for seniors in various ways, including by fighting food inflation, because it goes without saying that seniors are also affected by food inflation. My colleague is very nice. We have a very good relationship, and I will be pleased to work with him to address our seniors’ financial woes.”
