Okay, and I believe your organization, if my memory serves me right, was against NAFTA as well.
Let's move on to the next question, which was with regard to home care. I'm very familiar with that. I worked 29 years with some of the most vulnerable people in society, disabled people.
Often, in some of the most gut-wrenching circumstances, parents have to tend to their children's needs when they're diagnosed with cancer. That was my situation when my son was two years old. My wife and I have a small business. One of us left our job, and we stayed with our child.
Through those years, we found that the support of civic organizations—civil society, if you want to call it that—such as the Canadian Cancer Society and others was quite adequate. In fact, it was a bit overly generous at times for our situation. There were other families on the oncology floor—about 16 of us—at McMaster Hospital. There were other people in different socio-economic circumstances who were given additional resources from civil society organizations, such as church groups and others who support that.
Is there any place in Canadian society for that to be a model to go forward? We survived it and we came out stronger. We weren't eating Kraft Dinner every night; we were living, not a rich lifestyle, but.... I'm not going to go there, but do you know what I'm trying to say here?
I hear all of this, and I think it's admirable, but I'm a conservative and I say the government can't do everything for everybody.
