Mr. Speaker, seniors have been left to deal with the surging cost of living on their own. The Parliamentary Budget Officer confirmed it yesterday. A total of 1.7 million seniors have seen their purchasing power slashed because the indexed increase in their old age security benefit is below the rate of inflation. If the federal government does not fix this, it will be keeping a third of Quebec seniors from receiving $660. Will the Deputy Prime Minister commit to paying seniors back every penny they have lost, the next time OAS is adjusted?
