I'll let you answer; I'm trying to keep to the speaking time, but I have a lot of questions for you.
In terms of the indexing method you're talking about, some seniors were insulted, because the increase on their cheques was barely $2 or $3. That isn't even enough to buy a cup of coffee. If that's the indexing method and the increase you're talking about, that doesn't work either. The indexing method will have to be revisited.
I know the government brags about the New Horizons for Seniors program, which is meant to be another way to help seniors. This year, projects are capped at $50,000. Has the total budget been increased, and, if so, by how much? Can you confirm the budget allocation for the New Horizons for Seniors program, which will be opening soon?
