Skeena-Bulkley Valley MP Taylor Bachrach took a stand for seniors’ wallets in a letter released this morning.
As a result of the pandemic, many seniors were forced to supplement their pensions via the many Federal pandemic support programs, such as the CERB.
But, the government has decided to count said payments toward the calculation for Guaranteed Income Supplement payouts.
Bachrach is calling the move an abandonment of seniors by the Liberal government.
He says seniors have had to ensure more than most during this pandemic, and that no one should be cut off from their benefits simply by following government instruction.
