There are still some seniors who have applied for their benefits and are waiting. That number is dropping every week, every month, as we anticipate it will continue to do.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9184503\" data-originallang=\"en\">Our officials are working very hard, night and day, to make sure that all cases are resolved. If the member opposite has a person in his riding who needs urgent attention, I suggest he share that name with me or have them call Service Canada. We have not received any names yet from that member of Parliament.</p>",

Certains a\u00een\u00e9s qui ont pr\u00e9sent\u00e9 une demande attendent encore. Ce chiffre diminue de semaine en semaine et de mois en mois, et cette tendance devrait se poursuivre.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9184503\" data-originallang=\"en\">Les fonctionnaires travaillent d'arrache-pied, jour et nuit, pour r\u00e9soudre tous les cas.
