My questions today are aimed at whoever of the witnesses feels most qualified to answer. I will start with the differences between outcomes for nursing homes in the public and private sectors. I understand that about 80% of older people are in private nursing homes. Has any analysis been done on the outcomes in terms of infection rate or mortality rate between the public and the private sector? Did this lead to a conclusion about which one was working better or whether we should have more public involvement?
