Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses for joining our committee.

I'll direct my questions through you, Mr. Chair, to Mr. Lynch.

The Minister of Seniors, Kamal Khera, has GIS in her mandate letter, requiring her to increase GIS by $500 for single seniors and $750 for couples starting at age 65. This will help target the most vulnerable seniors in Canada.

I just want to get your thoughts on that.
