That's for sure, yes. Any one of us can have an incident, tragedy or setback that can drastically change the trajectory of one's life.
Which level of government do you believe is best to address or administer that?
I heard earlier testimony—I want to say it was from the FCM—about locals being able to know what's going on in their community and that type of thing.
Sometimes I know from an Ottawa vantage point that Ottawa doesn't know best when it comes to communities, especially rural communities like my own. If you need to go to a doctor, that's a two-and-a-half-hour drive. If you don't have a car, if you don't have somebody who can drive you, how do you get to your specialist appointment? If you're paying for an ambulance, that's another cost that isn't necessarily covered.
Who would be the best to administer individual assistance, as you've suggested?
