Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I can guarantee he won't be near as kind to me.
Thank you very much for your presentation today. I come from northern Ontario--Kenora riding. A lot of my questions are going to be around the professionals we use to help protect the older generation.
I was amazed at what I learned from your comments just on my own home. I'm the oldest guy in it, but I'm not quite as old as some of my colleagues. You just cleared up a problem in my own home. I have a mother-in-law who's older than 75, and her older brother. The biggest complaint she has when she visits is that she's not in familiar surroundings and she could easily fall. I could alleviate that through the comments you made about remote control. I had never thought of that; I thought it was just my mother-in-law complaining. It's amazing how we can do something in our own homes.
I want to ask a lot of questions about age-friendly cities. We have just started hearing these kinds of comments, so I'll be looking into that.
You said we need more geriatric nurses--I think that was the term you used.
