Clearly the implications are out there. The Canadian Institute of Actuaries has just done a study which shows that the proportion of provincial-territorial revenues devoted to health care will rise from 44% to 69% in 2037. That cannot happen. These are intended to be self-defeating prophecies. We need to do things differently. That is essentially why we are arguing that you need to be able to shift resources from acute care beds out to long-term care beds and increase home support and home care.
