The first thing I'll say is that we're not waiting for seven years to issue a report. We're talking with people as we go along.
One of my colleagues and I were at the Council on Aging of Ottawa last week. There were 35 or 40 people, all of whom work in this area, and we were exchanging views and ideas with them. We will continue to do that. We have a website and all the sort of standard stuff. So we're not waiting for seven years.
That said, towards the beginning of the project we were trying to map what exists in these various jurisdictions. You may not have heard, but we were talking about California, Texas, five Canadian provinces, Scotland, England, Germany, Norway, and Sweden. There are a lot of interesting things to do in terms of making sense of the comparisons among these jurisdictions.
One thing that seems to have come out--and this would speak to the efficiency argument--is that for-profit seems to be less efficient in that for the same dollars you get fewer good results. This is difficult to measure, and we sometimes measure it in a surrogate fashion by looking at staffing levels, but that's not the only way we can measure it. I'll refer you to Margaret McGregor's piece for the IRPP released last January.
