Mr. Chairman, I'm quite willing to address Mr. Gargan's question. In fact, Mr. Gargan, I think the committee recognized lay dispensers and home care workers as front line workers because we did meet with those people whenever given the opportunity. For instance, we have had lay dispensers take part in workshops with the committee and we have met with home care workers in communities. I think our understanding of a front line worker is very broad. Most have advised that, although they're not mentioned in a specific category in that survey, lay dispensers were interviewed for that survey I tabled last week in the House. I think when the committee says front line workers, we're talking about the complete spectrum. I think we want to make sure that by putting labels on what front line workers are, we're not limiting what the response might be from the government when they respond to this motion. That would be my concern for trying to specifically set out exactly which people we meant by front line workers.
