Connie Cody Conservative
“High costs are forcing seniors back to work because they cannot afford to live on their pensions. I want the government to adopt our Conservative economic plan to make life affordable so seniors can retire.”
“Mr. Speaker, Canadians are being forced to make impossible choices to make ends meet. Mark, a 73-year-old senior in my community of Cambridge, retired at 65, but in this affordability crisis, he has been forced back into the workforce because his retirement income is no longer enough to pay today’s higher cost of living. This Canadian is not asking for a handout. He is asking for the financial security he earned through a lifetime of hard work. When will the Liberal government stand up for our retired seniors and adopt our Conservative economic plan, which saves Canadians money, so seniors such as Mark can retire with dignity?”
