During the fraud information sessions, we also talk about the abuse of power and abuse. We present the profile of a typical person who carries out these acts and the profile of a typical senior victim, so that people can identify with them. There are very clear vignettes that show the life of a family. The mother lives with her daughter, who has a husband and child. There's no dialogue, but people can see what's happening. They see abusive acts, looks or other behaviours that don't even need words to be understood. The goal is to show that just about everyone, unfortunately, treats a senior inappropriately at some point. We provide the sessions for prevention purposes. In addition, as my colleague said, Quebec has a telephone line, the Ligne Aide Abus Aînés, which refers seniors to resources. The seniors are then assisted by professionals.
