Good afternoon.
I want to thank everyone for taking the time to be here today.
Thank you very much to the witnesses for being here.
Dr. Williamson and Dr. Kelly, thank you both for your opening remarks.
Dr. Kelly, I know your work on the care economy is really important for how we support aging seniors from a systems approach. I know you weren't able to complete your remarks, so I hope you'll be able to share those with our committee.
The work that you're doing gives us a really important opportunity to understand how we can support seniors through their financial security independence and overall quality of life. With an aging senior mom at home, I'm certainly thinking about it.
I know in my downtown riding of Spadina—Harbourfront, we have amazing organizations like Waterfront Neighbourhood Centre, the West Neighbourhood House and the Neighbourhood Group, which are all trying to engage seniors in social activities to help them stay connected.
I'm wondering if you can speak to whether you're seeing trends that show that financial abuse and financial vulnerability are more prevalent among seniors who experience social isolation.
