Thank you very much.
I'll begin with our witnesses who are here from back home in Nova Scotia. It's good to see you by video conference.
One of the reasons I want to start with you is I'm familiar with the demographic problem, in particular, that Atlantic Canada is facing. We have more seniors per capita out east than any other province or region in Canada. If it hasn't already exploded, there's a ticking time bomb taking place with a need to enhance caregiver services, particularly for our seniors.
My grandfather is a 96-year-old veteran who has actually received great in-home care, from which my family has benefited, because of certain programming that we have for veterans. There are many seniors, particularly those living in poverty in my community, who don't have access to a similar level of benefits.
Could you comment on how the federal government could best fund in-home care programs for seniors who aren't necessarily veterans to make sure they have access to quality care in their homes as well?
