Seniors
During question period on seniors, Conservative MP Anna Roberts said Liberal spending and taxes have made essentials like food, rent and utilities unaffordable for seniors, pointing to rising food bank use and senior poverty, and asked when the government would lower their costs. Liberal ministers Stephanie McLean and John Zerucelli replied that the Conservatives vote against measures benefiting seniors, citing old age security and the Canada dental benefit, which they said serves 31,000 people in Roberts’s riding.Written by AI from the debate.
