Mr. Speaker, I absolutely do agree that palliative care has to be a fundamental part of health care as we go forward.
I heard questions earlier tonight that asked when end of life starts. Palliative care experts will tell us that even up to a year before death, in some cases two years, there is an advantage to good palliative care, the kind that does not just occur in the hospitals but in hospices and in home care. Therefore, I encourage the current government to do what it can to implement the promise it made in the budget.
