Thank you, Madam Chair. I agree. We do need to be flexible in our programs, and I am hoping that that's kind of covered within service delivery changes required to protect seniors, but also as Mr. Goldney had stated, we need to make sure that our seniors are safe from financial abuse. That's why one of the actions is to make a separate income assistance program specifically designed for seniors and people with disabilities. Again, they are some of our most marginalized populations. If the systems aren't working as they are, then we need to change the systems. We need to stop putting people in boxes and say, "You need to work with the system"; we need to change systems for people. Thank you, Madam Chair.
