Thank you very much, and please say hi to your mom for me. I have never met her, but she sounds like a wonderful woman and I've enjoyed your stories of her.
I'll say that we knew right away that seniors were going to struggle, especially since seniors in particular often face isolation already. When we were asking people to stay home and avoid going out, we knew that for those seniors not living in long-term care isolation would be difficult, but for those in long-term care it would obviously be even more so.
We worked very closely as a whole of government to increase access to financial supports for seniors and to ensure that New Horizons programs across the country had additional money to rapidly change how they were connecting to seniors in communities. Obviously, all the work we did to support provinces and territories in long-term care work was very critical. We'll continue to do that work for seniors.
The seniors across this country have been there for us in our toughest times, so it's time for us to be there for them, and that's why I'm so honoured to be Canada's health minister and to be working on the many ways that our government can support seniors to have healthier, more dignified lives.
