Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Mr. Minister, thank you for joining us this afternoon.

Here is the first question that I would like to ask you. Have seniors groups or other groups been consulted in terms of federal initiatives to fight elder abuse?

If so, which are those groups and what do they recommend? Have they agreed to Bill C-36 and have they asked that any other amendments be made to the Criminal Code or other federal measures?

Please go into as much detail as possible, Mr. Minister.

See context to find out what was said next.
