Mr. Speaker, during my Minister’s statement today, I did provide a couple of numbers that individuals could call. But if you are, if an individual sees or witnesses abuse, I think one of the important things that a person can do is start developing a relationship with that elder and learning about the elder, to identify, help him identify the abuse that might be taking place. They can go to the elder’s home and invite them to engage with other local seniors who may be participants in the society that is visiting us here today.

I would encourage communication using the 1-800 numbers, getting in touch with other seniors and if the abuse continues and it escalates, they may well also want to get in touch with the RCMP. But definitely getting to know the elders and learning about them and finding out what’s going on in their lives is going to be critical and important.
