If I may add, I believe currently there is a guaranteed basic income pilot project going on in three communities in Ontario. The guaranteed income is $17,000 a year. Given average costs in Nova Scotia of long-term care per month and alternate level of care, ALC, beds in hospitals, providing that caregiver with a $17,000 guaranteed basic income, allowing her or him to step away from work, is a savings of almost 50% of the institutionalized cost.
