I appreciate that currently we are funded predominantly by the provincial governments and bound by the rules and regulations of the provinces. I think that looking at the challenges of social isolation is not something that's unique to COVID and the pandemic. This has been going on for a long time. I know that the federal government has had discussions about the development of a federal seniors strategy, as well as potentially looking at national long-term care regulations in a structure.
I think within that context we also need to be very realistic about addressing social isolation and loneliness on a pan-Canadian basis, and some of the ways in which the federal government can support the provinces, and then down to the actual frontline agencies, to address those challenges and concerns. Part of that is looking at ways we can reimagine housing structures and opportunities. Instead of rushing to build more long-term care facilities, for example, of 300 or more beds and towering facilities, can we not look at how we can address the housing strategies and work with Canada Mortgage and Housing to incentivize developers to start building different forms of product that enable seniors to age in place and do so in a way that promotes social engagement among them.
