Basically, one of the things is that we have to be working with the provinces. It's crucial. When you look at the cost of a hospital bed for a day, it's $842; a long-term care bed is $126; and a day program is $4 or less. So how do we look at investments? We've invested already in the home care program for the provinces. Part of the home care program has components that try to encourage more day activities.
I've heard from many organizations and seniors how important it is to be active, and when I reference the senator's report of 2009, one of the critical elements of getting seniors involved also helps in many other areas.
From a federal perspective, motion 106 sets the wheels in motion for a dialogue and to get the provinces involved, looking at best practices and how that leads local organizations and municipalities to follow through. This is the first time in the history of the House of Commons that a national seniors strategy has been approved by it. It gets the ball in rolling for that.
