Yes, I would, Madam Chair.
I'd like to pick up where Mr. Lizon left off, with the issue of long-term care, and particularly home care and palliative care. I note that we've all been aware for years and years, of course, of the demographic bubble and the aging population. It's no surprise to anybody that there are health care implications flowing from that. But all I see in budget 2013 to help with the issue of personal home care services is a GST/HST tax exemption.
I know you guys aren't the.... You're the policy people, and you're not there, but perhaps you could please explain what your understanding is of why we've adopted a policy that doesn't put more effort and funding into what are obvious needs and desires for Canadians in their health care system, the palliative care and long-term home care.
