My question is for the Minister for Seniors and Accessibility. First of all, thank you for your visit to my riding on Friday and meeting with some of the town seniors.

One of the concerns our seniors brought forward is accessibility barriers which keep them from being socially connected and affect their physical and mental well-being. Inclusive communities mean accessible communities, and they want our government to continue to champion accessibility, ensuring our province is welcoming and accommodating for everyone.

Speaker, can the minister please explain to the House how our government is ensuring that our province is accessible for everyone?

Under the previous Liberal government, the needs of seniors and people with disabilities were, unfortunately, not a priority. That is why the funding our government is providing through the Inclusive Community Grants Program is significant for supporting all Ontarians, including the people in my riding. Funding from this program will ensure that individuals will be able to remain active and connected within our community of Ajax and the Durham region.

Speaker, can the minister please elaborate on how the Inclusive Community Grants Program is helping to create a barrier-free environment for the people of my riding?
