We certainly encourage healthy aging, in all of its aspects. Through our membership benefits we try to encourage them to join fitness clubs. We get them member discounts, to ensure that people who are in fact selling these kinds of services to help people stay healthy and engaged also provide them with financial incentive to get involved.
In our chapter network across the country, for example, one of them introduced Nordic pole walking in their community. Some have taken advantage of the New Horizons programs and so on, to introduce programs for their local neighbourhood. There certainly is a great deal of support for active aging initiatives.
We have people in our membership who do say that government has a role in supporting and incenting activity, but they certainly take responsibility for their own health themselves. However, when they cannot do so, they do see that government has a role in assisting them and assisting their caregivers and so on.
Now, in terms of bringing forward that aspect of our work, we do encourage it, but it is one of those kinds of priorities where you're encouraging the positive; we concentrate on defending against the negative much more in our advocacy.
We do weigh in favour of providing support for family caregivers to recognize the challenges they have, and they're grateful for the support for family caregivers in the latest budget. But they also say there's a need now to drill down on those who are providing the heaviest level of care so they are able to help with that as well.
