Mr. Speaker, I thank my honourable colleague, the member for Saint-Jean, for his very relevant question.
Indeed, our ridings are spread over hundreds of kilometres. Sometimes, adequate information does not reach the people who need it.
I am not suggesting that this only occurs in the country, because it is a problem in both rural and urban areas. However, there are family secrets and sometimes elder abuse is a closely guarded secret.
Once again, the best way of managing and overcoming this problem is through awareness building, prevention and training, and by increasing the availability of adequate services.
