Seniors
During question period, Conservative members asked what the government would do to help seniors, saying rising costs for food, rent and gas mean twice as many people are working past 65, that many older Quebeckers worry about running out of money in retirement, and that government spending and taxes are making things harder. Liberal ministers replied that the government lowered the retirement age to 65, supports seniors through the Canada groceries and essentials benefit, and pointed to Canada’s economic standing and the dental plan, while saying they want to work with the opposition on seniors’ finances.Written by AI from the debate.
