I hope it's there. The short answer is that families are absolutely stepping up. We saw that initially. My office hears from folks all the time about their sons, their daughters, their grandchildren making sure they get the meals, etc. That is the silver lining in all of this. When the chips are down, Canadians have shown overwhelmingly they really care about their seniors. We have to build on that and leverage that now to get the needed improvements that a number of people have spoken about.
I think that we will sustain this. In long-term care certainly we've seen families express both their understanding of why they can't visit and their frustration that they can't visit. I think that's also reassuring in the sense that there are a lot of family members out there visiting their loved ones in care homes. We also hear about how they visit other people in the care homes who don't have family members living in the same city.
I am hoping that we will sustain this when we are through this pandemic. The phrase I use is “my grandmother, my mother, myself”. People can see that they do not want that for their loved ones, they don't want that for themselves, and that if the will is there, the change will happen.
