We did a report a few years ago, if I'm not mistaken, where we looked at how much it would cost to implement national standards when it comes to long-term care, notably the number of hours of care per day, per person, as well as increasing the salaries and wages of those who work in long-term care. I think it was at the request of an NDP MP.
We found that the costs would be significantly higher than the $3 billion over five years that is mentioned in the budget, or the funding that has been earmarked for that specific initiative.
