Madam Speaker, It is very important to help everyone who is retired. For example, all benefits are indexed to inflation. I believe old age security went up by 6% this year, along with the other benefits, because they are automatically indexed to inflation. In addition, we obviously raised the old age security benefit by 10% for those seniors above 75. If we look at the statistics, we know that most vulnerable seniors who are living in poverty are above age 75. We have been there to help all seniors, of course, since 2015; our record speaks for itself. We must continue to help all seniors.
