Seniors with notably high poverty rates include single seniors and seniors from vulnerable groups. Examples are women living alone, recent immigrants, persons with a disability and indigenous seniors. Of the 45,000 seniors who have been lifted out of poverty, how many belong to these groups? Can you give us a percentage of that 45,000 you mentioned whom you lifted out of poverty?
