Thank you for your question.
The Réseau FADOQ has actually been very concerned about the issue since the 1990s, when we started to see drastic changes happening in the sector and resources being stretched.
I would say two things could happen.
It's a fact that most people right now need home care, so it's time to walk the talk, as they say. The needs are clearly known, but the budget fails to address them. A first step is needed to get things back on track.
As far as health transfers go, I will quickly say that population aging should absolutely be taken into account. Consider this: those 65 and over make up 17% of Canada's population—23% of Quebec's population. The government absolutely has to increase transfers on the basis of the aging population in the provinces and territories in order to improve long-term care.
