“I want to say thank you to seniors. They used to do a lot of work. Now everything costs more. We need to give them more money.”

Official Hansard

Mr. Speaker, today marks the beginning of Seniors Month in Ontario, as well as the beginning of Seniors' Week in Alberta and British Columbia. As the Conservative shadow minister for seniors, I want to take this opportunity to recognize the seniors who built this country. They are seniors who worked hard, paid their dues, raised families and helped shape the communities we all rely on today. As we commemorate this month of recognition, rising costs continue to surpass seniors with limited incomes. Many seniors are worried about the cost of housing, groceries and being able to live independently in their own home. Seniors deserve real action that restores affordability and respect for the contributions they have made. I also want to acknowledge the caregivers, volunteers and community organizations across the country that continue to step up. To the seniors from coast to coast to coast, we honour and thank them for all of their contributions to our country.
