Again, Mr. Adams, one of the things you said today was quite startling. You talked about these so-called ALC beds, alternative level of care beds, which is really that you don't know where to put them. I think you put it very well.
You mentioned that a hospital bed costs $842 a day to fill versus $126 for a long-term care bed. It would save Canadians $2.3 billion if we could move these patients from hospital beds to long-term care facilities, but as you said, there's a shortage of these beds and a shortage of home-care assistance to make that possible.
If you were the federal government, specifically knowing how most health care is administered provincially, how could we do that? How could the feds incent that?
