As the Liberal government appears set to survive a first non-confidence vote in the House of Commons, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said he’s open to discussions about doing more for seniors, a key demand of the Bloc Québécois.

Speaking to reporters in New York City on Sept. 24, Trudeau didn’t commit to supporting the Bloc’s Bill C-319 to amend the Old Age Security Act. He said, however, he’s “always ready to talk about what more we can do for vulnerable seniors.”
