Seniors are the fastest growing segment of Canada’s population. Developing public policies and programs that help them are in everybody’s best interest, so today’s federal-provincial-territorial meeting of seniors ministers in Charlottetown was beneficial. #mbpoli #cdnpoli

Great to meet with Nova Scotia Seniors Minister Leo Glavine today in Charlottetown at the federal-provincial conference on seniors. Look forward to further discussions in the next 24 hours as we look at ways to work together for the betterment of all Canadian seniors.

I’m in rainy Charlottetown today with ministers of seniors from across Canada, discussing programs and services we can collaborate on. Happy to chat with Ontario Seniors Minister @RaymondChoPC, as well as @drgigiosler and @marcoux_laurent from the Canadian Medical Association.

Great time catching up with Pearl McGonigal and other friends at the Grace Gala tonight, where Pearl was celebrated for her efforts with the Grace Hospital Foundation, which raised more than $25M in support of patient care at the Grace when she was chair. Wonderful woman. #mbpoli
