“Seniors in my riding are sleeping in restaurants because they cannot afford housing, while the Prime Minister spends a lot of money on fancy food for his airplane. Canadians cannot afford food or rent. Why will the Prime Minister not admit his policies are failing?”

“Mr. Speaker, CTV reported that seniors in Richmond Centre—Marpole are sleeping in Tim Hortons because they cannot afford a place to live, while the Prime Minister spends nearly $1 million on luxury catering in his taxpayer-funded aircraft. Canada is the only G20 country in recession. Canadians cannot afford food, rent or housing. Why does the Prime Minister refuse to accept the fact that his policies are failing Canadians?”

“More seniors are becoming homeless and cannot afford to live on their pensions. Shelters are full and unsafe for them. I want the Prime Minister to reverse his policies that made life so expensive.”

“Mr. Speaker, Canada is seeing a growing homeless senior population. Emergency shelters are overflowing, and seniors are saying that they do not feel safe staying in them. After working their entire lives, seniors surviving on a pension should not be sleeping in restaurants or searching for a safe place to spend the night. Canadians deserve better than this Liberal-made affordability crisis. Will the Prime Minister reverse his costly policies that created this crisis, so Canadians can afford to live again?”
