If the federal government wanted to help, it could provide us with funding. There would be home support and resource support services for low-income individuals. Programs would be set up for that, and the government could work on an agreement with the provinces to set up programs for the client base our foundation serves. I think that the federal government's assistance would be a very nice initiative that would help us move forward.
A medical assessment costs between $1,300 and $1,500. This year, our foundation paid for $65,000 in services. If the federal government were to provide funding for assessments and treatment, and if it worked out an agreement with the provinces—that goes without saying, as health care comes under provincial jurisdiction—there could be cooperation and specific federal programs.
