Thank you.
I'm also going to point out that it actually costs less to keep seniors healthy. That means that this additional money can help people be more socially connected, eat better food and be more connected through transportation. This additional amount would really make a big difference in seniors' healthy eating, living and relationships.
The last point is that the age cut-off at 75 causes other inequalities. We know that it has made two classes of seniors, but what it also does is change things for people who are struggling with disabilities, for older women and for people who are providing care as unpaid caregivers.
We know that the committee will have many questions, and we look forward to answering them today.
