Well, thank you very much.
Thank you to our witnesses for coming today.
The first question I have is for CARP. I grew up in the auction and the real estate business in southwestern Ontario as a youngster. You can imagine the number of seniors you would deal with through estates and people moving and downsizing.
What further reinforced this was that during campaigns, door-knocking and talking to seniors, day to day, what I've come across--and I'm sure you have as well--is that there's a tremendous number of seniors who have very few savings but who have a tremendous nest egg in their homes.
I just wondered if your group has any innovative ideas on how to unlock that. We want our seniors to remain in their homes; they want to remain in their homes. It's really that what they have saved, and what they receive in CPP, OAS, everything else, does not really afford them much of a lifestyle beyond that.
Do you have any suggestions?
