As you say, they recognize certain groups, and they don't recognize one of the ones that served.
The reason for this committee's study right now is health care. I believe that quality of life is controlled by some of the resources you have in your life. Many of these people you're talking about don't have resources. This could make a big difference to their quality of life, to what they could do in the latter stages of their life. So I think it's important that we recognize this.
I'm going to switch gears slightly. I want to get back to northern Ontario. We talked about the provincial agencies and long-term care. I forget what point it is in your long-term care. Veterans Affairs working with the provincial and territorial health authorities is the challenge I have in my riding. I have people who need service, but they're not going to get it unless they move a thousand miles away. That breaks the family unit, which in aboriginal, first nations, and Métis culture, as you know, is a bond for all of them. It breaks that.
I don't know if you want to add anything to what that is, but it's like fighting up a steep slope to try to get these resources into these small communities. We can do it. In Sioux Lookout we're building a brand new provincial-federal hospital . These things aren't built every day. But we need some allocation to make sure there are a couple of long-term care beds in there. My riding is 60% first nations.
