The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): Now we will go to the honourable member for Hamilton Mountain Mr Duvall
Mr. Scott Duvall (Hamilton Mountain, NDP): Mr Chair I was pleased to hear about extending the tax deadline to October 1 in yesterdays announcement for seniors After many discussions with the Minister of Seniors I was glad to hear that she was listening to the NDP and many others on making this happen It stops a lot of interruptions for people who could not get their taxes done Mr Chair COVID19 has been showing us in stark terms that Canadian seniors are struggling to make ends meet in Canada Before enduring the crisis it was clear that OAS and GIS benefits levels were just not enough for seniors to keep up with the cost of living so we need to fix this now Why is the government refusing to increase OAS and GIS benefits to lift seniors out of poverty on a permanent basis ?
Hon. Deb Schulte (Minister of Seniors): Mr Chair I want to thank my honourable colleague for giving me this opportunity to rise today and talk about how we are supporting Canadian seniors during this pandemic Many Canadian seniors are facing significant health economic and social challenges as a result of the pandemic They built this country and now they need our help Our government is taking significant action to provide Canadian seniors with greater financial security and give them the help they need during this crisis We are building on past measures by introducing a onetime taxfree payment of 300 for those who receive OAS and of 200 for those receiving GIS totalling 500 to seniors who receive both We are also supporting communitybased projects to improve the quality of life for seniors through the New Horizons for Seniors program and investing in other charities Seniors need our help and we are delivering for them
Mr. Scott Duvall: Mr Chair I was glad to hear that the Minister of Seniors is acknowledging the financial burden that our seniors are taking on She mentioned the prescription dispensing fees the added costs of their groceries and the delivery charges I was glad that the Prime Minister acknowledged the heavy toll seniors are facing and that they helped to shape this country and now they need our help A surprising statement that I heard yesterday was the Treasury Board and the seniors ministers admission in their press briefing that the level of assistance being provided to Canadian seniors is quite low Why is the seniors minister acknowledging all the burdens they are trying to help the seniors with but the response they are giving is just a very low way of handling it ? | The Minister of Seniors clarified that his office recognizes that seniors are in great need. The minister explained that those receiving OAS and GIS are getting payments of $200 and $300 respectively. The minister was insistent that this was not an insignificant amount. |

owner: Perhaps. Times have been tough and with no crops this year gold is a little hard to come by. Would you take 20 coins?

ornate birds: You would be surprised. It's not as bad as it looks - given the Kingdom's generous labour laws, 3 servants take three eight hours shifts throughout the day, and the other two cover breaks, meals, and weekends.
soldier: They aren't union workers are they?
