Mr. Speaker, we recognize the challenges seniors are facing, and our government has been there for them. Now, to help seniors who are struggling, we are doubling the GST tax credit. That means seniors will receive $700 back in their pockets. Nearly two million low-income renters who are struggling with their rent will receive $500. We also increased the old age security for seniors aged 75 by 10%. For seniors, for a full pensioner, that means $800 in their pocket. While the Conservatives oppose every affordability measure, we will remain focused on delivering for seniors.
