With regard to seniors, we currently have no funding. We've applied to ESDC's new horizons program and have recently applied to the Public Health Agency's dementia community investment fund. However, I would really like to see an investment in the aging indigenous population, specifically with a gender-based focus, given that indigenous women are living longer than men and that there are gender-specific needs. I would really like to see a dedicated effort to this area. As well, I would like to see indigenous organizations be involved in the decision making about what funds will become available and how they may be used.
