Mr. Jean-François Tremblay (Deputy Minister , Department of Employment and Social Development) at the Human Resources, Skills and Social Development and the Status of Persons with Disabilities Committee

The numbers come from statistics from Statistics Canada. If you look at StatsCan, you see that the poverty level for seniors in 2015 it was 7.1%,. In 2019, it was 5.7%, and, as you said, it went down in 2020 to 3.1%, partially due to the COVID measures, for sure. We have to remember that we went from 7.1% to 3.1%.
