I think that being old and often ill causes insecurity, all the more so as senior citizens often live below the poverty threshold. We asked for an adjustment of the Guaranteed Income Supplement, because they are living below the low-income level. No doubt, if they cannot live and grow old in their own language, it causes so much insecurity that it can even lead to depression or premature demise.
