Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'd like to thank each of our witnesses for being here today.
My first question will be directed to Ms. Garon. Among other measures to improve the quality of life for aging Canadians, our government provides funding to non-profit organizations through the new horizons for seniors program. With an annual budget of $28.1 million, this program helps improve the quality of life for seniors and their communities through what I believe you would call social participation.
My question for you is this: how do community organizations encourage or address social participation for aging Canadians living with reduced mobility? For homebound seniors who don't get out into the community, what does your organization do to encourage that participation?
