Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thanks to all the witnesses who are here today.
Elder abuse is a concern for us all, and I think it's appropriate that we hear the various points of view. With you, I'd like to pay special attention to first nations. Maybe it's just my imagination, but I always thought the first nations had a great deal of respect for their elders. That's what I've always felt. I'd like to hear what you have to say about that.
Do you think first nations elders are treated differently by their fellow citizens than in civil society in general?
Perhaps Ms. Nowgesic could answer.
