Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Minister and staff, once again.
One of the groups I'm especially concerned about with regard to mental health is seniors. I want to thank Mr. Van Bynen for his work and leadership on that file. Whether it's seniors living in care facilities or in their homes, like my mom, the toll of the lockdown and isolation is exceptionally heavy for seniors.
In my community, I've heard from my constituents that seniors need more ways to socialize, not fewer, during these times. Can you tell the committee and those following along at home what our government has been doing to provide supports for the mental health of seniors across this country?
