Very much so. I gave projections, for example, of what the aging of the population by itself is going to add to the federal debt. The federal government isn't even the one that's primarily responsible for delivering health care, so you can imagine what the effect of this is going to be on provincial finances. Before the aging has really begun in force, provincial finances are already in extremely poor circumstances, and have shown almost no improvement coming out of the recession. That should be a major concern of every policy-maker. It's going to require substantial reform.
In the 1990s, this country undertook major reforms of the CPP and QPP, and of welfare. This country showed then that when we have to, we can undertake major reforms of programs that the public sector delivers. We're going to need that kind of fundamental rethinking of how we deliver programs for health care and education moving forward, because those are the two biggest sources of provincial spending. We're not going to be able to fix provincial deficit if we don't fundamentally address spending in these areas.
