Madam Speaker, my colleague listed all the wonderful things that his government has done for seniors. I will repeat for him the headline of an article published this morning in the Journal de Montréal: “Seniors starved by Ottawa”. It is not the most complimentary headline I have seen. This article mentions two of my constituents: Bob Petit, of Saint‑Jean‑de‑Matha, whose GIS was cut by $350 a month, and Jacques Rhéault, of Louiseville, whose GIS was cut by $400 a month. Can my colleague explain why the government did this deliberately? The Bloc Québécois sounded the alarm last summer in July 2021. Today, we are seeing a bill that will come into force only in July, yet people are going hungry right now. That is disgusting.
