Madam Speaker, I thank the hon. member for his important question and his advocacy on behalf of seniors.
The pandemic has been hard on all of us, but it has been hardest on seniors because they are at a greater risk. Our government was able to quickly enable organizations to modify New Horizons for Seniors projects. Our fantastic community partners took projects that were meant to be done in person and moved them online, or shifted to address new needs like the delivery of groceries or medication. In total we funded over 2,000 New Horizons for Seniors projects, and in the coming weeks we will be announcing additional projects to support seniors across the country.
