Thank you for your time in coming here. We were all looking forward to this, and I do have a few questions.
You spoke about producing numerous analytical reports on elder abuse prevention and intervention under the federal elder abuse initiative, and mentioned that the reason for the Public Health Agency's development of several examinations and analyses on elder abuse was an essential starting point, because very little available and up-to-date published information existed on elder abuse in Canada. You mentioned that statistics specifically about older women's experience of elder abuse are somewhat scarce.
Were there recommendations made to improve the availability of statistics and knowledge specifically geared to research gaps in that area? And what new knowledge did it make available on the abuse of older women in Canada?
