Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague for her advocacy. We recognize the challenges that seniors are facing, and our government has been there for them.

Nearly two million low-income renters who are struggling with their rent will receive $500. We also increased old age security for seniors aged 75 by 10%. That means $800 more for a full pensioner. On this side of the House, we are going to continue to deliver for seniors.
