It comes from the budget of the ministère de la Famille et des aînés, which is actually made up of two departments, the department that deals with family matters and the one that deals with seniors' issues. The minister responsible for seniors, Marguerite Blais, implemented the Villes amies des aînés project in Quebec, an infrastructure that helps increase seniors' social participation. The department has released funds for that purpose. The funding is not huge; we're talking about $2 million for towns for seniors' participation in society as citizens and about $9 million to $10 million for infrastructure, as I was explaining earlier.
Despite the fact that the funding is not huge, I must say that a real trend has emerged. Currently, there are 316 towns involved, but I know that other towns are on a waiting list to participate in the program, However, there is no more money available. The best thing that could happen would be if the federal government were to provide funding for Canada. The town of Saanich, in British Columbia, is having a wonderful experience as are other places in English Canada. So it would be interesting to hear more about what is being done. However, those are local and not federal initiatives.
