Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Also on the same line of questioning in regard to care, especially in our communities. One thing that seems to be lacking in our communities is sort of palliative care where people, basically cancer victims, are told, well, there is nothing much we can do. They send you home and basically they are left to the family to sort of fend for them. I think the government has to have some program in place to assist these individuals when they go back to their communities, assist the families in regard to these costs and whatnot.
If these individuals were taken into care in a care facility or hospital, you are looking at thousands of dollars a day versus these individuals who basically have to maintain not only basic lifestyle and maintain their own families, but they are also taking time out of their work to maintain a family loved one. I think that a lot of communities...It is a lot of stress on the families. It is a lot of stress on the communities. I know that communities try to do their best to take care of people that end up going back to their communities and especially people that need some sort of care.
But one thing also that I really notice in a lot of our smaller communities is people that do have disabilities by way of either they are in a wheelchair and basically try to get into a public housing unit or even into public facilities. Those communities aren’t designed for people with disabilities. I know I’ve raised this question before in the House. What is this government doing to enhance the people with disabilities in small communities to ensure that they also have some sort of quality of life when it comes to their needs, especially when it comes to public facilities? Either it is housing, offices or care facilities even to just get around in a lot of our communities.
Again, I think this government has to do a better job of doing what we can for adult care, regardless if it is palliative care or else looking at disabled people and their care. I think, also, a lot of our people who are seeing the numbers go up in our communities who are suffering from diabetes, which is having effects on their mobility as the disease takes hold. But it is affecting their ability to get around even in their houses and also it affects their mobility. I would like to ask the Minister, are you guys doing anything by way of study, research or investment of this $50 million that can go into communities to deal with some of those types of matters? Thank you.
