I certainly agree that volunteerism is a big part of advancing inclusion for seniors. There's the new horizons program. In B.C. we have, as I mentioned, the Better at Home program, which is through the United Way. It's being expanded around the province. It's a way to coordinate volunteers to help older adults with tasks like shopping, cleaning the yard, maintaining the house, etc. I think there's a huge opportunity there as more seniors come into their retirement years and are looking for ways to contribute. As was said earlier, this is a rich resource we have to tap into.
