Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Madam Secretary of State, you highlighted the importance of recognizing the role seniors play in our society. I heard you say a number of times that seniors built the Canada we are so proud to call home.
First, can you tell us a bit more about the recent efforts to encourage seniors to play an active role in their communities?
Second, what are your greatest achievements to date in your role as secretary of state?
Third, we often hear certain opposition parties downplaying the importance of federal investments in supports for seniors. Can you remind us how these measures have improved seniors' lives in a concrete way and why it's important to remain proactive on this issue?
Thank you, Madam Secretary of State.
