Thanks for asking that question, because I didn't fit that in.
The 29 residential hospices or residences in Quebec formed an alliance and went to the provincial government and were given an exemption, so that's something for you to think about if you're looking at site exemptions for hospices. That was granted in Quebec. Interestingly, the medical adviser of one of the hospices has ALS and pleaded with them to let her die in her own organization, and they have agreed that when the time comes, they will perform physician-hastened death in that one hospice. That sort of throws everything out when you have all the hospices standing together and then you have this one exception, but it was the right decision for them.
Generally, the hospice programs in Quebec raise $2 million to $3 million of their money from their communities, and they are not government funded. They do get some government funding, but we're talking half a million dollars out of a $3 million budget. They have to be connected to their communities, since that's where they get their money.
I think over time we'll see how this all goes. Right now they are standing firm in Quebec. The rest of the provinces are challenging themselves. The boards of directors are meeting now without knowing what the legislation is going to tell them. They're trying to figure out whether they'll generally say that they would prefer to transfer out, but we'll see where that all goes. That's just for the residential hospices.
The rest of the hospice and palliative care programs are really quite.... If they give the best care possible and a person wants physician-hastened death, they will refer to the right people.
