Thank you, Mr. Chair.
My first question is for Mr. Shillington.
This morning you chose, and rightly so in my opinion, to speak to us about seniors. Last Tuesday, Statistics Canada representatives gave us a status report on poverty in Canada. The statistics about seniors were very clear. In my opinion, all of the members around this table cannot go into their ridings without being made glaringly aware of this reality.
You discussed seniors' programs, but I would like to focus on the Guaranteed Income Supplement. This program targets the poorest seniors. There was a 10% increase for single seniors in Budget 2016, which left aside 50,000 seniors living in poverty who do not live alone.
How can we help these low-income seniors who do not live alone?
