I appreciate that question.
From my opening remarks, what I was trying to say is that we participated in two consultations from Finance Canada, and it's really been reflected in the discussion here today. There was one consultation around prevention of economic abuse, and that really deals with issues—whether it's an intimate partner, a child, a grandson or someone else—where someone might be vulnerable to economic abuse.
The other consultation and work they're doing is around a national anti-fraud strategy. It really reflected what Mr. Lynam was saying around multisectoral action. We had an opportunity to see early drafts of that work, weigh in on it and bring out the perspective around older people. We didn't necessarily focus on gender at that point, but that work is ongoing. To watch what Finance Canada does with it would probably be of interest to this study.
In terms of social isolation—this is more from my knowledge as a professor than from the national seniors council—there's a bit of this divide where women are more likely to live alone in old age due to complex demographic factors. They are less likely to be remarried after the death of a spouse or a divorce, and more likely to live longer. All of these things compound, and women are more likely to live alone. They're also more likely to be better socially connected in old age. There are many moving parts. It's hard to say something concrete around how it would affect a specific issue like fraud, but it's another factor to be taken into account.
