Thank you, Madam Chair, and thank you to our witnesses for appearing here today.
To the Canadian Centre for Elder Law, this is an important issue at the best of times, and we know with COVID and lockdowns, and everything that we've experienced over the last year, in many cases, it's made bad situations worse.
You have provided a lot of support and resources for seniors, and we've been talking a bit about the impacts of COVID.
I want to speak about something a little different. It's about the targeting of seniors through scams. It's so commonplace now. I mentioned to the committee last week that I received a call that was clearly a scam. People are getting these calls non-stop. We know that seniors are specifically targeted. We know that they wouldn't be doing these scams if some people weren't falling for them.
Can you speak to some of your experiences, maybe the advice that you give and how you're supporting seniors for protection against scams?
