Thank you, Chair.
Mr. Paquette, you scared me deeply when you gave a statistic in which you said that by 2036 one in 13 Canadians will be 80 years of age or over. I did the math and I will be one of those. That makes me somewhat concerned, so I take this subject quite seriously, I might tell you.
One of the things you said as well in your opening remarks, or close to them, was that between 4% and 10% of older adults experience some form of abuse, and it's estimated that one in five incidents of abuse is reported. We've had variations of that, but not too far off that, from previous guests who have testified.
What I'm trying to understand is how we go from real numbers, which presumably come when charges are laid or through various reports within the system in place currently, to this obviously much more significant challenge whereby we go basically to one out of five being reported. How do we know that?
