“We will keep funding programs that help seniors. The member across the way voted to take dental care away from tens of thousands of people, including seniors in his own riding.”
“Mr. Speaker, we are very proud of the New Horizons for Seniors program, which benefits hundreds and even thousands of organizations across Quebec and Canada. We will continue to support this program. It is a program that works. When my colleague talks to the seniors in his riding, I hope that he tells the over 39,000 healthy people, many of whom are seniors, that they will no longer have access to the Canadian dental care plan if he votes as he did to take it away from them. That is shameful.”
