Thanks, Mr. Roy.
Ms. Cornellier, your opening statement was laced with references to some of our most vulnerable seniors. You talked about those who live below the poverty line; you talked about those who, through their careers, had low wages, and you talked about low income.
One of the other witnesses that we had at a previous meeting, Professor Sweetman from McMaster University, talked about a targeted approach from government in terms of providing benefits, whether in housing, dental care, as was referenced here today, or other government supports for seniors. Professor Sweetman talked about providing a very targeted approach to seniors who are in the very situation that you outlined in your opening, instead of the other approach, which is just providing support for everyone, whether they need it or not. When I say targeted, I mean based on income.
Can I get your opinion on that in terms of when it comes to support for seniors in housing, the dental care program that we have, and the benefits that we're talking about today? Can I ask you about the importance of basing those benefits on an income or not?
