We've certainly heard loud and clear, when negotiations were under way last year about the health transfer payments, that when it came to seniors, long-term care services, mental health, and palliative care, they're certainly priority areas that Canadians are absolutely concerned about.
We were pleased to be able to provide some funding for providing home support care services to provinces and territories to allow them to really develop services and models that work best in their provinces and territories. We certainly don't want to have a top-down approach and tell them what to do, but if we can provide them with funding, then from there they can put in place what best meets their needs in that area.
We also recognize that seniors want to live longer in their homes, and we really have to make sure that the appropriate services are put there. Many of those responsibilities fall under the provinces and the territories, but providing additional funding for health care transfers can certainly help them and help the provinces and territories take the steps they need to effectively deal with the growing aging population we have.
