Canadian government pushed to boost seniors benefit as federal budget looms

Canada's Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland is into the home stretch of preparing to deliver this year's federal budget.

Freeland is set to table the spending plan in the House of Commons April 16 and she's been getting lots of advice on what should make the cut.

That includes advice from MPs on the House of Commons Finance Committee who, after cross country hearings with Canadians, prepared a pre-budget submission containing more than 300 recommendations.

As our chief political correspondent David Akin reports, some of those recommendations are aimed squarely at making life more affordable for senior citizens.
