Some individuals have to wait 28 to 30 weeks for their supplement to be increased.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1603615\" data-originallang=\"fr\">When does the minister intend to put an end to these unjustified delays and give seniors living below the poverty line the money they are entitled to?</p>",

Ainsi, certains individus doivent attendre de 28 \u00e0 30 semaines pour que leur suppl\u00e9ment soit revu \u00e0 la hausse. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1603615\" data-originallang=\"fr\">Quand la ministre compte-t-elle mettre fin \u00e0 ces d\u00e9lais injustifi\u00e9s et verser aux a\u00een\u00e9s qui vivent sous le seuil de la pauvret\u00e9 les sommes qui leur sont dues?</p>"
