Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Morneau, for appearing before the finance committee this afternoon.
In my riding of Vimy, we have dozens of seniors residences and autonomous living facilities, some of which have more than 100 apartments. Seniors have worked hard to help build Canada, and in retirement they sometimes need help. Just as they worked hard for our country, I believe it is very important for us to work hard for them.
Canada has many impactful programs and benefits to directly improve seniors' quality of life. However, one of the most important questions I keep hearing from my constituents is what will happen to their spouse when they're gone.
Minister Morneau, can you please elaborate on what work you are doing on survivor benefits, both in Canada and in my home province of Quebec?
