Alex Rodriguez asked a question. Reggie Jackson answered it.

(Shouts to the producer and rest of the desk for staying out of Reggie’s way and just letting him talk. I doubt they expected this answer. But it’s a great few minutes of television.)

It is an honour to chair the National Seniors Council. The NSC members are committed, smart, talented and hardworking.

Together, working with the Seniors Secretariat, the Ministers @SeamusORegan @markhollandlib and their teams we are getting important work done!

[Seamus O'Regan Jr @SeamusORegan]

The National Seniors Council advises our government on federal policies & programs for seniors. Because seniors & their advocates know it best.

We had a lot to talk about this week - long-term care, dental care, better health care.

Listening to them is how we’ll get this right.

[Seamus O'Regan Jr @SeamusORegan]

Le Conseil national des aînés conseille notre gouvernement sur les politiques et les programmes fédéraux destinés aux aînés. Parce que les aînés et leurs défenseurs sont les mieux placés pour le savoir.

C'est en les écoutant que nous réussirons.
