That's the longer-term care?

Kirsten Sware

Yes, and I think I would echo the sentiments that have been shared today that you can't look at long-term care in isolation. It is a continuum of care. The long-term care is one piece of that, and the more effort we can put in on the front end, the less we'll need long-term care.

The other thing might be that we could extend our home care and supportive services so that we offer more than Monday to Friday, nine to five.

When you need care, it's not nine to five during the week, is it?

Thank you so much for participating. We've run out of time. Thank you for answering our questions, providing greater insight. Meegwetch, merci.

There's going to a short recess and then we're going to come back in camera to deal with committee business.
