Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I really appreciate, Ms. Vyce and Ms. Black, the [Technical Difficulty—Editor]. You presented a number of issues that you would like to see happen.
I'm interested to hear from you because you talked about the cross-contamination that we're seeing in the long-term care facilities. You've talked about how we've moved from where the worker only goes into one facility now, instead of multiple facilities.
I'm interested to know this. My wife is a nurse. She is actually a long-term care nurse who does home care now, but she was in intensive care. In my practice for many years.... Basically, when we went to school we learned about sanitation. When we went into a hospital, we could smell that hospital. We knew the sanitation was there because the facility was using disinfectants to disinfect viruses, bacteria and germs. We walked in there with our street clothes and changed into our scrubs. Then we got out of our scrubs, into our street clothes, and left. Now, we see people going in. They come in in their work clothes. They leave in their work clothes. They have been around all of these germs, etc. They may go to the grocery store or wherever without even going home to even shower, etc.
I'm interested to know what your comments are on whether these are important things that we maybe should be getting back to in order to protect Canadians.
