The Canada Health Act is one tool you can use in order to raise standards in long-term care. As Ms. Armstrong also mentioned, the other tool is to stand up its own legislation, similar to the Canada Health Act but specific to long-term institutional care or long-term medical home care.
When you think about the people who are receiving this type of care, though, they are requiring the highest levels of institutional care and long-term care, and it should really be treated no differently as a hospital.
I would suggest that the federal government needs to revisit its funding formula when it comes to providing this type of care, and we need to raise the standards and make sure that they are consistent across the provinces.
