It's really important that we not shelve what we're doing, do a report and then move on and go on to a different topic. We have the ball in our hand. This is the opportunity. This is the timing. It's critical. We've heard about the grey tsunami. I've also heard it called a tide. The tide is up to here on us. We have to take action on this now. We've heard a number of examples from different witnesses of effective ways of doing this: there's low-hanging fruit and there's changing the paradigm of how we provide health care.
If we do not do it now, Chair, if we do not continue on this study, then I think we've lost a very important opportunity on a critical issue. We're already hearing that seniors are not having their needs met, and it's only going to get worse. In my life, I think I have a moral obligation to advocate for this. This is the time. That's why we have this motion before us.
