To go back to Raza's answer, I think it depends on what the population is. I do think that if we have a national seniors strategy, it ought to be a strategy that parallels, as we heard earlier, the Canada Health Act, that sets down the standards, rather than standardization. There's a huge difference, I think. If we set down the principles that we're trying to attain in terms of seniors, which would include, I think, making sure that all strategy is analyzed in terms of its impact on seniors, then I think we could go a long way towards getting there if we set out a set of principles that are to apply more broadly, as opposed to saying that there is one single right way that we should approach this. It has worked in terms of our hospitals and doctors.
