If I could go to the second one first, I think the income support would be very useful. In the same way that women traditionally have not left bad situations because they were not economically able to, seniors are no different. There are abused women in situations. It doesn't mean you suddenly become nice because you're over 65; it doesn't happen.
A pension split from the beginning might actually give women a bit of economic independence that they don't otherwise have. At the end of the day, it certainly also provides them with some economic security once their spouse has died.
I've certainly given a lot more thought to the caregiver program. I mentioned earlier that I have old parents. If you mean I should be compensated in some way for the labour I expend on their behalf, I don't think so. What I think would be very useful is to fund the community support services to provide assistance that enables someone to make the choice to stay at home.
It's not the medical care that people need that drives them into institutions; it's the practical things. They can't do the laundry any more. They can't peel their vegetables. They don't want to eat, because they're eating alone all the time.
If you provide supports to that as the caregiver program, I think it could be extraordinarily useful. It wouldn't be terribly costly, and it would have huge dividends.
