That's certainly true. If you ask a caregiver what they need the most, what they need the most is help for the person for whom they're providing care. The second-best thing you can do for a caregiver is support the caregiver as well. Our view is that you can do both.
Canada is a G7 country. We surely should be able to do both at the same time.
I would also say that the data is pretty clear that when the caregiver isn't doing well, the person receiving care doesn't do well either. If you're in that situation of being burnt out, being financially distressed or unsure how you're going to pay the mortgage or pay the rent because of your financial strain related to care, you're not your best self when you're providing care for somebody. Ultimately, the person to whom you're providing care ends up suffering at the same time.
