First, I think it's critical to articulate a concrete goal of what we're trying to achieve through innovation, and that will then rally people around that goal. That's what I think is the proper role of the federal government, to articulate goals that Canadians are entitled to achieve. And the means of achieving the goals, most of that responsibility, with the right federal support, can exist at the provincial level.
For example, at the very beginning of my talk I threw out a very specific goal. I said that rather than having the nursing home be the last two years of your life, it will now become the last two months of your life. That's a very specific goal. And it's going to require a whole series of efforts to get us there that include much better support in the community to keep people who would otherwise go into nursing homes out of nursing homes.
So I think it's important to articulate very specific goals. Every Canadian who wants to die at home instead of in an acute care hospital is going to die at home.
Now, let's talk about what it's going to take to get us there. Every Canadian who needs a primary care doctor is going to have a primary care doctor. Let's talk about why we're not there. What are the obstacles? Let's do it. If we can send a man to the moon and safely return him back to earth, we can certainly do these things.
