That might have been near the end of what I had to say.
What I want to emphasize is the need for the billions of dollars that are going to be allocated, presumably for home care over the next four years, and that there be a strong accountability framework negotiated in the health accord.
I spoke before that about my personal experience of trying to access some high-quality health support for my husband, who died of a very serious neurological disease with dementia. I could not access any care. I must say that 11 days after he died, I got a call saying that they were now ready to assess him. I'd had three quite lengthy interviews by telephone before that, but I didn't get the care when I needed it.
I just want to emphasize the need for much better home care, and for equal access for everybody. They don't have to be important persons. Everybody should be able to access good home care when they are older, and when they have mental illness or dementia, so that they can live at home comfortably, have some quality of life, and die at home. I think we can do that. It's not happening.
Thank you.
