There's always a fine balance between what's provincial and what's federal, but the provinces are clearly the ones to execute the care. I don't think we're in a situation of the provinces not wanting to implement palliative care. I think the provinces do want to implement palliative care, and they're struggling with resources and an overall plan of how to get there. I believe that's what they would look to the federal government to provide, a plan, and then to determine how long that is going to take. As I said, this is a hugely expensive thing that you cannot do instantaneously, and the $3 billion that's been announced is a great place to start.
