This government has not done that. This government has increased the pension credits, increased the age credit. It has made eligibility to earn income greater when collecting the GIS. Of course, it has brought in income splitting for our senior citizens.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2205614\" data-originallang=\"en\">The big difference is that every one of those measures was opposed by that side the House and supported by Conservative members.</p>",

Le gouvernement actuel n'a pas fait cela. Nous avons accru les cr\u00e9dits de pension, major\u00e9 le cr\u00e9dit en raison de l'\u00e2ge. Nous avons augment\u00e9 le revenu pouvant \u00eatre gagn\u00e9 tout en touchant le Suppl\u00e9ment de revenu garanti. \u00c9videmment, nous avons permis le fractionnement du revenu entre personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2205614\" data-originallang=\"en\">Toutes ces mesures, auxquelles se sont oppos\u00e9s nos vis-\u00e0-vis, ont \u00e9t\u00e9 appuy\u00e9es par les d\u00e9put\u00e9s conservateurs.</p>"
