Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman, and thank you all very much for your presentation.
Sir, on page 5 of your presentation you put “The good news is...”, and I looked at the fourth paragraph and it says “Seniors are active in their communities and they're working longer”. Now, some seniors like to work longer; some seniors have no choice but to work in their senior years because their pensions don't necessarily qualify for them to maintain a decent life to be with their grandkids or their neighbours. I don't know if that's such good news. So I would caution you on that one, because some seniors I see working at McDonald's or Tim Hortons are there because they have no other choice to put bread on their tables. So I don't necessarily call that good news in that regard, but I thank you for that.
I see in this pamphlet you have that CLSA will be doing a questionnaire with 50,000 men and women aged 45 to 85 in the near future. I see some of these reports that come out and they can be somewhat wordy, somewhat difficult to answer. If you're a person who's elderly, who doesn't have a decent formal education through school--and many veterans left school in order to fight and they never got back--will these forms put it in a manner that is not dumbed down but is clearly understandable for them so they know exactly what they're ticking off when they fill out those forms?
