Thank you for your question. I'm going to answer in English.
You're absolutely right that we have programs for Canadians and we want to make sure that all eligible Canadians receive their benefits. For this reason, we've recently modified the method of processing guaranteed income supplement benefits and old age security benefits. A large portion of old age security benefits will be paid proactively and automatically. Canadians who meet eligibility requirements, who have 40 years of residence in Canada, and who have 40 years of contributions to the Canada pension plan, will be automatically enrolled in old age security, so they don't need to apply anymore.
Service Canada is working to expand that automatic enrolment to other populations. We're looking at whether or not we can move to automatic enrolment for guaranteed income supplement recipients. At the same time, another initiative we have in place is to take advantage of tax filing information for Canadians. Every year, guaranteed income supplement benefits need to be renewed because they're based on income. As of July 1 of each year, GIS benefits are recalculated based on the prior tax year's income. If the seniors file a tax return or they submit a declaration of income, those benefits are automatically renewed every year. That's not 100% of seniors who are eligible for GIS.
We are looking at ways to improve the take-up of those programs and to make sure that Canadians get their benefits as quickly as they can. We're looking at better understanding why some Canadians don't apply, even though they may be aware of the program. We're looking at ways to make the awareness of the program greater. We're looking at ways to expand automatic enrolment. All of those are absolutely intended to try to make sure all Canadians who are eligible for those benefits are able to receive them.
