This is targeted at single seniors. I am concerned that we are omitting seniors who are living in poverty and are not single but may be a couple, a couple who may have been living together as a couple for 40, 50, or 60 years. They are at an age now where mobility issues have arisen and one of the couple is helping the other one who is struggling. Instead of going into a health care facility, they're able to live together, still in poverty.
There is an incentive now that the government has created that, if they want to get that benefit, they now have to separate and move into a care facility, so that they are not caring for each another. They are going into a care facility and now are able to get that additional benefit.
What percentage of Canadian seniors living in poverty would be the couples? You have 900,000 Canadians who are going to get this benefit. What would be the number of seniors living in poverty who would not qualify because they're a couple? What's that number?
