Thank you, Mr. Chair, and welcome to all the stakeholders and witnesses, and especially Irene from B.C., because I came from British Columbia.
Then, of course, I'd like to welcome Jane. I used to work with her closely when I was the former minister for seniors. Financial literacy has done a good job, and I'm glad that they're still around helping not only seniors but those who are also getting ready to be seniors. They've done great work.
My question, which is for everybody, will be centred around two issues. The first is elder abuse, especially financial abuse. Ms. Rooney mentioned that because of the lack of understanding of what matters to them when they buy any product, or even when their own family members or friends abuse them....
That of course relates to working with the banking industry. As I mentioned in previous committee meetings, I think we should get them involved. If there's any sign of financial abuse, they should be authorized to inform the relevant authorities.
This is a question I'd like to address to Ms. Rooney first.
