I'm calculating the impact of the cost right now in a very large-scale study.
But to give you an idea of what the cost is, it's actually a cost savings because the idea is that you actually pay them less than you would a formal caregiver. For every dollar you would pay a formal caregiver, you're paying an informal caregiver, say, 60ยข on the dollar. So the government is going to be saving 40%.
Realize that right now 70% of all care is being done by the family, and right now we're getting a 70% discount on all our care needs for seniors across Canada. We will not get the 70% discount in the future. Half of provincial budgets are being paid on health care costs, and half of those health care costs are already for seniors.
