Human Resources committee  I think so. It would absolutely be extremely beneficial if that was the case, because we've seen that. We're an organization that's been running since 2016, at least as a student club, and we've seen the number of volunteers who used to come to our events. What we're noticing is that, obviously, a reduction in volunteers is a big problem for us, and it would be very beneficial if people had more disposal income so that they could come to events.

Human Resources committee  Absolutely. I think we've been lucky that, with UBCO being a 10,000-person university, we've been able to find volunteers one way or another. However, finding volunteers has absolutely been challenging for us, given that people are a lot busier—at least the students. They're doing more part-time jobs.

Human Resources committee  Thank you. Good afternoon, honourable members. Greetings to all of you. First of all, it's an absolute honour to be here, and I appreciate all of your ongoing efforts and work for people all across Canada and beyond. My name is Shiven Vinod Khera, and I am representing the Age-Link Society.
