You also brought up an important aspect, the 20,000 beds that people could free up by returning to live at home.

Earlier, Dr. Marcoux mentioned that it would be very important to start with the basics, namely awareness of the need for existing infrastructure. This momentum must come from the major decision-makers, at the federal or provincial level.

If we invested that amount in housing, would that help us save money or would it cost more to keep those people at home?
