Corps du texte
English
- Seniors in Canada living below the poverty line across this country are currently set at $25,252,
- which is really not sufficient for the high price of food and accommodations. Many go without
- required medications or skip so they can eat. Some freeze in winter because they cannot afford
- heating bills. Some live in dilapidated housing because they need a roof over their head. Some get
- half of their CPP because they were forced to apply at age 60 because of the provincial governments,
- not by choice.
- We need to increase the benefits of the social program to ensure Seniors get their full CPP when
- they turn 65, Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and Old Age Security (OAS) need to be increased to
- ensure the income for seniors meets the poverty line threshold in Canada or exceeds it by $1000.
- Drug plans to cover all costs for seniors, including co-pay fees charged by the pharmacy. Other
- Medical coverage and expenses such as eyeglasses need more comprehensive coverage for seniors.
- Submitter: Emerald Gibson
- Note from staff: This proposal has been posted for your consideration at the 2023 Annual General
- Meeting. The content of this proposal is fixed, however a draft version has also been posted in the
- Workshop to allow you to collaborate with the submitter on possible amendments and to review the
- rationale and background information of the proposal. You can access the workshop version of this
- proposal here ( /processes/create-proposals/f/457/proposals/4170 ), which the submitter is still

G23-P021 Programme de soutien aux bénéfices fédéraux pour les personnes âgées
Au Canada, les personnes âgées vivant sous le seuil de pauvreté sont actuellement fixées à 25 252 dollars, ce qui est vraiment insuffisant pour faire face aux prix élevés de la nourriture et de l'hébergement. Beaucoup se privent des médicaments nécessaires ou sautent pour pouvoir manger. Certains gèlent en hiver parce qu'ils n'ont pas les moyens de payer les factures de chauffage. Certains vivent dans des logements délabrés parce qu'ils ont besoin d'un toit. Nous devons augmenter les prestations du programme social pour que les aînés reçoivent la totalité du RPC lorsqu'ils atteignent 65 ans, le Supplément de revenu garanti (SRG) et la Sécurité de la vieillesse (SV) doivent être augmentés pour que le revenu des aînés atteigne le seuil de pauvreté au Canada ou le dépasse de 1 000 $. Les régimes d'assurance-médicaments doivent couvrir tous les coûts pour les personnes âgées, y compris les frais de co-paiement facturés par la pharmacie. La couverture des autres frais médicaux, tels que les lunettes, doit être plus complète pour les personnes âgées.
