As I mentioned earlier, there was an election promise to that effect. When an election promise is made, we're confident that it will be fulfilled. We're asking that, after the death of a spouse, old age security benefits be extended for three months and transferred to the surviving spouse, especially since certain expenses incurred by the spouse during their lifetime are still ongoing. The surviving spouse must also reorganize their finances while they grieve. In our opinion, these three months of benefits for bereaved spouses would be appreciated.
