Canada owes our seniors a great deal and the federal government plays the leading role in providing seniors with much-needed income support. To support our seniors, we:
- Permanently increased the Old Age Security pension by 10% for all seniors aged 75+, providing $766 over the first year to pensioners receiving the full benefit.
|
- Are proposing to provide $20 million over five years, starting in 2022-23, for the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to ramp up efforts to learn more about dementia and brain health.
|
|
- Provide significant support for aging in place, including, as of 2017, through $6 billion over ten years to provinces and territories for the delivery of home care services.
