Increase the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) by 10%.

What success looks like

Nearly 900,000 low income, single seniors have greater financial security.

Government's narrative on progress

In July 2016, the Government of Canada increased the Guaranteed Income Supplement by up to $947 per year for the most vulnerable single seniors. This has improved financial security for nearly 900,000 seniors—approximately 70% of whom are women—and lifted an estimated 57,000 people out of poverty. Budget 2019 proposes to further improve the economic security of low-income seniors by enhancing the GIS earnings exemption to allow working seniors to keep more of what they earn. This exemption would also be extended to self-employed seniors.
