The amounts announced in the previous and current budgets are higher than those indicated in the promise. However, no action has yet been taken on any of the fronts mentioned.
“The government is therefore directing significant resources toward home support, housing and long-term care. Accordingly, an additional amount of more than $1.1 billion over five years has been set aside in Budget 2024-2025 to ensure the continuity and quality of care and services for seniors, as follows: // $581.0 million for enhancing home-support services”
