Thank you.
I have one question for Mr. Beach, again.
We are doing a study of poverty reduction in Canada and in that we now have a chance to study the seniors living in poverty.
I have been an immigrant, and in my riding of Brampton Centre there are mostly immigrants living there.
Parents and grandparents who come to Canada, sponsored by their children, do not qualify for benefits because they have not been here for the required 10 years to get the pension, and they live in poverty. They have nothing, no earnings. They have medical coverage, and that is good, but no other things.
My question to you is this: can any government or any other agency help these people to improve their standard of living and take them out of poverty?
