Madam Speaker, I listened to the member talk about the importance of our seniors. That is something the government has been very much aware of from listening to members of the Liberal caucus, ministers, opposition members, governments at different levels and seniors themselves. The support given has been very real and tangible. We can talk about the increases to the OAS and GIS, or about the GST rebates, but something that often gets overlooked is the millions of dollars that have been given to non-profit organizations. Many of these are committed to supporting our seniors, ensuring that they do not become shut in and so forth.
I wonder if my friend could provide some thoughts in terms of how important it was that the Government of Canada, in co-operation with others, worked to support these non-profits that provide such critical services to our seniors.
