I will use the time I have left to follow up on my initial question.

Budget 2017 announced an investment of $29.5 million over five years for a new digital literacy exchange program for not-for-profit organizations that implement initiatives that teach basic digital skills, including to seniors.

I use the example of training offered in Laval, and elsewhere in the country, where our seniors are learning to use iPads so that they can communicate with their grandchildren.

Do you think that a national seniors strategy should encourage projects like that?
