“The government's policies are hurting seniors. One in 10 seniors now uses food banks, and some are becoming homeless. The government's economic plan helps their friends instead of helping seniors.”
“Mr. Speaker, I do agree with my colleague that under the Liberal government, seniors have been pushed right to the back. The Liberals talk a big game, but they do not have the human decency to stand in the House and accept that their policies are hurting seniors. One in 10 seniors is now going to the food banks. That is not me saying that; it is the facts in our communities. Instead of the Liberals’ just issuing press releases, if they actually cared about seniors, stood up for them and supported them, we would not have the crisis we have today. The economic statement could have helped them, but again it is helping Liberal insiders, while seniors are being forced to homeless encampments.”
