Thank you. However, Quebec and the provinces are working together to ask for an increase in funding, which has been drastically cut in recent years. Almost $10 billion has been lost. The Canada health transfer has accounted for 50% of the costs. We're now asking that the transfer be increased by 35%. Quebec and the provinces want the necessary money to reinvest the funding in their seniors.
This money could fund home care programs and home adaptations so that seniors can remain in their homes longer. Ms. Armstrong, I want to hear you speak about invisible work and the need to acknowledge the work of family caregivers. You spoke about the economic stimulus and about how people can participate in it. People could be given better wages or family caregivers could be given refundable tax credits.
We should acknowledge the importance of invisible work. This would enable us to develop better policies, and thereby encourage and acknowledge everything that these people do to keep seniors at home. What do you think about this?
