Thank you so much.
Thank you, Minister, it's very nice to have you here to talk about this very important issue.
I have the honour of representing North Island—Powell River, which is a very large riding with many rural and remote communities. Today, as I listen, I can't help but think about Sayward, with a population of 340 people who have created a volunteer program so they can have health services provided in their community. They now organize everything so the nurse can come into the community and do that work.
A lot of seniors across Canada are now at a stage where they may be very vulnerable economically, but at the same time, they're having to step up to the plate to care for a loved one, a partner, or to organize something like they have in Sayward. I hope we all remember that in this place when we discuss the importance of having a national seniors strategy.
You talked about four priorities in your report, but are you moving toward a national seniors strategy?
