I want to talk a little bit about home care since it seems to be something that is driving the discussion here today. As far as I know, home care is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the provinces. I would be interested to hear how the federal government would reconcile withholding funds from a province if they didn't go in the direction that the federal government led. You said the federal government should lead. If this is an area of exclusive provincial jurisdiction, why wouldn't the provinces be leading and the federal government doing what it always does, which is to provide financial supports? There has been a 36% increase in health and social transfers since we took office, with the escalator built into the budget. Could I have some comments on that?
