Mr. Speaker, that is, of course, completely false. The government has not taken a dime from seniors. On the contrary, this government brought in the single biggest increase to the guaranteed income supplement in a quarter of a century and the Liberal Party voted against it.

\n

This government brought in income splitting for Canadian pensioners. That party voted against it and that party has, in the past, threatened to take it away from our seniors.

\n

One party and one party alone stands for middle-class Canadians and seniors, and that is this party. We are going to fight them every step of the way.

Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, \u00e9videmment, c'est compl\u00e8tement faux. Le gouvernement n'a pas enlev\u00e9 un sou aux personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es. Au contraire, il leur a offert la plus forte hausse du Suppl\u00e9ment de revenu garanti depuis un quart de si\u00e8cle, et le Parti lib\u00e9ral a vot\u00e9 contre.

\n

Le gouvernement a permis aux pensionn\u00e9s canadiens de fractionner leur revenu, mais ce parti-l\u00e0 a vot\u00e9 contre et a, dans le pass\u00e9, menac\u00e9 de priver nos personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es de cet avantage.

\n

Un seul parti sait d\u00e9fendre la classe moyenne et les personnes \u00e2g\u00e9es du Canada, et c'est mon parti. Nous ne baisserons jamais les bras.
