The reason I'm here today is exactly for that purpose, to encourage the committee to provide their views on whether this should be a priority for our government. I have my personal view. I would that say the actions we've taken in the last year and a half demonstrate quite clearly that we feel that the well-being of seniors is a key element of my mandate as the minister responsible for seniors.
I'm certainly very enthusiastic and very supportive of your work, and I look forward to your report on how we can move forward in a manner that you judge will be the best design for us to address all of the very important challenges and opportunities that our aging population presents.
