Mr. Reid spoke about home supports. It is a problem we all encounter. I refer to home care hours. It is a help to keep people at home. It is obvious that there is not enough funding to facilitate the demand. Will more personnel and funding be made available to keep people in their homes as long as they can? There is a significant demand on the home support framework that we have, with people only getting half an hour when they should get two or three hours, and others not getting any and having to wait three or four months before they can even get access to some help. Will Mr. Reid comment on that?
