True, health comes mainly under provincial jurisdiction. The money is invested by that level of government. When you look at the situation, sometimes you have to equip yourself with tools in order to be able to do certain things. It's all well and good for the current government to say that it wants to comply with all existing legislation and behave properly in that respect, but without some financial and especially moral support to guarantee you some assistance or ability to defend your rights if necessary, the situation becomes problematic if the support comes up short. I understand that you don't want to get into a political debate, and I accept that, that's our job. But it does become, to some degree, a problem. If you have financial assistance on one hand, but you don't have support if, and I hope this doesn't happen, an Ontario minister decided to cut funding, there's a problem.
