Thank you, Madam Chair. For creating a separate income assistance program tailored to seniors and people with disabilities, it's not meant to actually give more money or more services. It's actually meant to address some of the issues around like what we talked about, financial abuse that is happening, making sure that the income support program is meeting their needs, do they need to report every month, if you've got mobility issues. Those are things that they need to be looking at. It's about accessibility of the programming versus actually increasing the amount of supplement. Thank you, Madam Chair.
