The increase in the GIS supplement for the most needy seniors has helped 900,000 seniors.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"5545375\" data-originallang=\"en\">I would like to take this opportunity to thank the National Seniors Council for its great work. I welcome its members to Ottawa and I look forward to working with them and all parliamentarians for our seniors.</p>",
