Thank you, Mr. Chair. As the Minister mentioned, this is an additional benefit provided to seniors. It is based on eligibility for the guaranteed income supplement. And so it is actually a benefit that is legislated, and it is administered by the federal government. So these benefits are paid out on the same cheque as old age security and guaranteed income supplement. So it basically works out to an extra $196 per month. Thank you.
