Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I will be sharing my speaking time with Mr. Morrissey.

Good afternoon, minister. Thank you for being with us today.

I see that the expenses of the old age security program and the guaranteed income supplement, the GIS, have risen. I suppose that's because of the increase in the GIS and the rising population of seniors over 65 years of age.

Bearing that in mind, can you give us your take on the last report we prepared on seniors and tell us what you will be doing to advance the seniors file, which is very important?
