Discussion · Government Orders
Marie-Hélène Gaudreau Bloc Québécois
“Seniors aged 65 to 74 need help, but the government treats them unfairly. Instead of handing out money to win votes, the government should help people in this age group. What does my colleague think about this?”
“Mr. Speaker, it is true that seniors are facing difficulties. We have been saying for many years that seniors aged 65 to 74 are being discriminated against by the government, and we expected that this situation would be rectified. Instead of offering a poisoned chalice in the form of election-time handouts, the government could have helped people in this age group. What are my colleague’s thoughts on that?”
