I heard a similar question put to the minister by the media. I thought she did a pretty good job of handling the question, so I'll borrow from her. I don't think anyone would want the conversation to begin with ultimatums being issued by one order of government to another on this. Hopefully, there's going to be enough of a sense of a common mission, partly as a result of the need to respond to the Supreme Court but also out of recognition of the need to address this issue, that the provinces and the federal government can come together and agree that, as part of the tens of billions that are spent on health care, Canadians deserve a guarantee that they'll receive access to palliative care.
I do think that, as part of an accountability framework for a new health accord, there need to be targets for palliative care, and home care in particular. Canadians need to see, in exchange for the money that goes out across the country for health care, the kinds of results being achieved in their communities compared to those in the rest of the country.
