The NDP and Conservative parties have both tabled bills designed to improve the quality of life of seniors. The parties aim to ensure that eligible seniors are recieving their guaranteed income suppliments, and to combat elder abuse, respectively.

It has been noted that the routine screening processes employed by airports, which involve removing jackets and shoes can be stressful for elderly travellers. In response, some US airports have begun relaxing their pat-down rules toward seniors, considered a low-risk group. If successful, this model will be adopted on a broader scale.
