Human Resources committee  This service should be free and accessible everywhere. This would strongly support the participation of seniors, especially the most vulnerable seniors, who may not have access to new technology, as I said. It would support the inclusion of many people who unfortunately can't aff

Human Resources committee  I think that everyone should have the same rights at every stage of their lives. I'll shift the focus a little from seniors to the ability of young people to stay in school during the pandemic. It became apparent very quickly that the most vulnerable people didn't have access to

Human Resources committee  It's hard for me to comment on that percentage. I'm not sure that it would be enough. We know that we'll need to deal with an aging population in Quebec and in Canada. More and more seniors will be part of our community. I think that we must anticipate the situation, to avoid end

Human Resources committee  Certainly.

Human Resources committee  Yes.

Human Resources committee  The danger of focusing only on individual needs is that social inequality will surely increase. If we focus only on specific issues, we'll certainly leave out certain categories of the population. These people won't be able to benefit from some programs, given the strict and limi

Human Resources committee  I would say that the programs aren't enough. Certainly more programs are needed to build additional accessible housing for seniors.

Human Resources committee  I can't give you a specific answer to that question. That said, women often have lower levels of education or have done invisible work by staying at home to raise their children. They receive fewer pension benefits. Sometimes, they don't get any benefits. This is indeed an issue

Human Resources committee  Yes. I completely agree with this proposal.

Human Resources committee  This would ensure that all seniors have the same opportunities and would limit social inequality. It would ensure that all seniors can participate in social activities, can get out of their homes, can afford transportation to go grocery shopping, or can go to the movies if they w

Human Resources committee  The current housing situation is indeed of great concern throughout Quebec. In terms of housing for seniors, a great deal of community housing is being built for people who are independent or semi‑independent. However, the housing isn't adaptable for people who are experiencing

Human Resources committee  Housing is indeed one of the social determinants of health. This right should be a given and accessible to all. We're currently experiencing a very worrying and difficult situation. We're seeing uncontrolled increases in housing costs throughout Quebec. Measures should be implem

Human Resources committee  That question could be answered from several perspectives. Yes, seniors don't always return to the workforce by choice. Sometimes, they do so out of necessity, because they can't support themselves on their retirement pensions. This is already a problem. On the other hand, I be

Human Resources committee  A number of factors prevent a person from working up to the age of 75 and result in a drop in income well before then. For example, as you rightly said, a number of seniors must leave the workplace not by choice, but because they become family caregivers. They leave the workplac

Human Resources committee  Yes, it's a fairly widespread problem, especially in transportation. The Laurentides region has many rural areas, which raises major issues for public or adapted transportation. This means that seniors may be significantly isolated. We also have a shortage of accessible and ada
