Thank you for your question.
The expenses you speak of concern all levels of government in Canada. As everyone knows, hospitalization and health expenses are the governmental expenses with the fastest increase.
I think it's fair to say that no governments are ready for this type of increase in costs, and therefore it's very important that we continue to do what we can to prepare, through education, training, and prevention of injury, as we go forward.
As Pamela said, injuries are preventable. They're not accidents, so the more we can, through education methods and training, prevent these costs and prevent injuries, the better off we are for the individuals and for the system.
With respect to what we're doing now, the Chief Public Health Officer's report for 2010, which just came out a month ago, deals with aging. In the report, there is quite a lot with respect to how we should be looking at preventing falls and preventing injuries among seniors. It also addresses the whole spectrum of the aging population and how we should be looking toward aging in a healthy fashion and keeping our elderly in much better shape as we go forward. It's a very good report. We hope it gets the coverage it deserves. Thank you for the question.
