Thank you.
With regard to seniors, I read in your document that most seniors remain healthy if they are involved in an activity in their community. They want to continue to be involved and so they likely pay more attention to their health.
However, it is certain that seniors who left paid work and who are receiving a good pension, something reasonable, can also afford better food. Or so I think. We know that the cost of living is increasing a great deal. As a result, seniors who receive a small pension or who receive only their pension with the guaranteed income supplement cannot afford the best food, the best fruits and vegetables on the market. There are farmers markets in our communities, most often during the summer, that allow us to buy locally grown fresh produce.
Do you have a program to help seniors eat better? They do not have the money to eat well and, as a result, over the years, they become ill; they develop diabetes with all that entails.
The fact that they do not have very much money affects their housing. They live in poorer housing conditions. They live in places that sometimes leave much to be desired in the way of heating in the winter, safety in the summer and so on.
Do you have a program to help them? Do you have any suggestions for what they should do?
