Thank you for the question.
You know we are committed to making sure that our investments in health will improve health systems across the country. It's well known that investing in home care will allow provinces and territories to get people the care they need in a more effective manner.
We are firmly committed to the $3 billion on home care. We wanted to do that in collaboration, of course, with our partners in the provinces and territories, and therefore we have included that in the negotiations toward a health accord.
I'm still optimistic that we will be able to wrap up those negotiations as quickly as possible, but it's taking some time to come to those arrangements. It's my very firm hope that we will finalize a health accord that will include the home care money. I think it's essential that we get that investment into the next federal budget, and certainly, if all goes well in my discussions with the provinces and territories, it will be there.
