That's a very good question. We've had the good fortune of meeting and talking with the current members of the National Seniors Council. We've received some very useful advice from them.
I would summarize that advice around two different lines.
The first is that they want to have more freedom when it comes to guiding the government around the seniors agenda. Second, they want to have more independence when it comes to providing their advice. So, freedom of choice and independence of advice is what we hear from them. Certainly, these are the options that we are currently following.
Minister Philpott and I haven't made the final decision as to the future structure and mandate of the seniors council, but, again, this context is perfectly suited for the committee to provide its own input into that reflection and the following actions that will take place.
