You've touched on a heartbreaking story, but what you've touched on is financial abuse, which is one of the more insidious forms of abuse against seniors. A lot of the initiatives, the federal elder abuse initiative and some of the ongoing work at Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, are looking at increasing awareness, not just for those looking for signs that someone they care about is being financially abused, but also teaching people themselves that they are being subjected to financial abuse. Knowledge is power, right?
I'm aware that Human Resources and Skills Development Canada has developed a series of pamphlets for seniors, to explain in a way they can understand and relate to that financial abuse is a crime. It's a serious issue. People have rights and there are things they can do.
