Mr. Speaker, if I understand correctly what the minister said, the payment will be made only in July because the calculation is updated in July. If I were to accept this explanation, I would have to ask the minister why the correction was not made last July given that the Bloc Québécois finance critic pointed out the problem to the government in April 2020. Why did the government decide to trigger an election instead of correcting the problem last July and looking after seniors?

Mr. Speaker, the Bloc Québécois recognizes the merits of Bill C‑12. We know that it is an error that will be corrected. Nevertheless, we also would have liked to propose amendments to this bill. I know that the parliamentary secretary mentioned that the bill is only five lines long. I would like to know if the parliamentary secretary is aware that the word “March” is only five letters long and could easily be slotted into this bill.

Mr. Speaker, when we suggested some improvements to the short Bill C‑12, I heard some Liberal Party members talk about how making improvements is partisan. That explains a lot. I am starting to understand them more. I can be slow to catch on, so I would appreciate it if my colleague could explain why, after seniors have endured 21 months of reduced benefits, it is partisan to ask for the payment to be adjusted as of March.

Madam Speaker, I believe you have the wrong riding and you meant to recognize the hon. member for Trois-Rivières.
