Thanks very much, Chair.
Thank you all for being here today. It's wonderful to be here in Winnipeg, Manitoba, with all of you. I really appreciated your testimony. I'm looking forward to hearing the feedback you have to my questions and the questions of my colleagues. I won't be able to get to all of you—and I apologize in advance for that—just because of time, but I'll do my best.
I'm going to start with Ms. Jackson, if I may.
You spoke about a number of issues. We've taken note of your recommendations. The area of particular interest to me is long-term care. I don't know if you can comment on that. If you can't, that's fine.
I think the question I want to ask you is very specific. We had someone come up in our morning session.... The federal government worked with outside experts to develop national standards for long-term care. That's close to my heart. A number of MPs and I really advocated for this starting back in early 2020 as the pandemic began. Those standards have now been developed, but they haven't yet been taken up by provinces. They're not worth the paper they're printed on if they don't get implemented.
My question is, does the nurses union have a perspective on national standards for long-term care?
