Thank you for the question.
The long-term care strategy should include, at a bare minimum, obviously, national standards for care right across the country so that you won't get a deficiency of care in one region versus another. At this point in time, there is. For example, we did see in the pandemic that for-profit long-term care facilities did much worse than not-for-profit long-term care facilities in terms of the number of deaths that occurred within the facilities. We need bare-minimum national standards.
Some of those national standards should include hours of nursing care and personal support care, a minimum but optimal number of hours that each resident should get. The standards should include architecture that includes private rooms and all the latest standards for prevention of infectious disease. They should include vastly increased supports for home care. Rather than putting billions of dollars into bricks and mortar, we need to establish the focus on home care so that people who need long-term care can experience it in their own homes in an adequate way. That's where people want to be.
I think that's obviously where the greatest investment is. We need standards of home care and accessibility in all regions and jurisdictions as well.
