Mr. Speaker, thank you to the Minister for the overall report. I’m asking again if the Minister would look at a secretariat that would have a little more weight than what we have right now. I know you have to work with other departments, other Ministers, and the different programs in other departments. For the seniors back in our small and most isolated communities, they have to go to different departments, different agencies and organizations to explain what their issue is. I’m looking for a secretariat where they could come to one place. We owe that to them and not let them run around the communities. They could come to one place where they can get all their issues dealt with under one roof by this government. So I’m again asking: would you bring this to your colleagues and to the House to have a discussion on a secretariat that would be more meaningful for seniors?
