We would like to thank you for inviting us to participate in these committee hearings. We are pleased to be here today.
I am the National President of the Association québécoise de défense des droits des personnes retraitées et préretraitées, i.e. seniors. We have 45 chapters in Quebec and 25,000 members, in addition to partners, for a total of 150,000 members.
As our name indicates, the association advocates on behalf of seniors in Quebec. For some years now, we have been defending the Guaranteed Income Supplement.
Without further delay, I’m going to hand things over to Mr. Claude Major, our Director General, who will present our brief.
Thank you.
