Health committee  Let's skip the numbers. At the very least, it is important to understand that there is a tiny proportion of elderly people. You could say that there are between about 5% to 8% of elderly people who live in private homes or in the community, and who need intensive services. These people need an integrated approach to health care.

Health committee  Good afternoon. I will be speaking in French. I would like to thank the committee for having invited me to appear before it to discuss a topic that has interested me for many years. In essence, I will try to cover 3 points in 10 minutes, and in each case, I will provide examples that may be the subject of questions afterward.
