Sir, I can't speak for other provinces, but in Nova Scotia, over the past year, there have been three stories that have hit the paper where an elderly veteran was transferred to the Camp Hill Hospital and his wife couldn't be with him because the hospital is just for veterans and not for the spouses as well. Unfortunately, they couldn't make arrangements for them to be in the same room together. What they tried to do was work with the province to find a facility of comparable capability in order to have them together in the same room. Of course, the challenge we have is what is federal jurisdiction and responsibility and what is provincial.
I wonder what advice you can give us, because one of the saddest things that we hate to see is when someone has, say, six or seven months to live and they have to be separated from their spouse of over 60 years. It's not just a federal issue; it's a provincial one as well. What advice can you give us in order to move that issue forward?
