You're absolutely right. We want to make sure they get the benefits they are entitled to. We do work with CRA, and in fact send out correspondence to seniors every year, who, based on data we get from CRA on their income, we believe are eligible. We write to them to tell them they could be eligible. Would you like to apply for GIS? We're also piloting, for example, a combined application for those who cannot be automatically enrolled, where if you apply for OAS you automatically apply for GIS. That wasn't the case in the past; it was two separate applications. This will make it much easier for people to automatically apply for GIS at the same time as they apply for OAS.
