Thank you, Chair, and thanks to both witnesses for the important information they have provided us.
I will start with a question for Ms. Coupal.
You mentioned in your opening remarks that the number of hours for caregiving has increased for women during this pandemic, and you mentioned that over 39% are facing financial hardship. As a pandemic measure, our government introduced the Canada recovery caregiving benefit, which replaces income for someone who needs to stay home to care for a loved one who needs supervised care.
In diverse communities such as Scarborough, we have a lot of multi-generational households, where care is provided across generations. What specific measures would you recommend on an ongoing basis post-pandemic to allow this intergenerational care to continue? Also, what other recommendations do you think are important? Could you provide some light on that?
