Thank you, Madam Chair.
My thanks to Mr. Armstrong and Ms. Wahl for attending. I have a couple of questions here.
In 2008 we launched the federal elder abuse initiative, a successful, $13-million, multi-departmental, three-year initiative to help seniors and others recognize the signs and symptoms of elder abuse and provide information on available supports. This has gone to great lengths to raise awareness of elder abuse across Canada.
Can either of you explain the impact of awareness campaigns concerning reporting elder abuse crime?
