Absolutely. For our part, I think the central line would be a really important thing to have. We know from experience that navigating through various government organizations immediately after the loss of a child is horrendous. Even though the people on the other end of the line are well meaning, as other witnesses have said, they're not adequately trained. Having someone there on a dedicated line would be a huge help to all of us.
In terms of how compensation could be structured or how it should be doled out, we could have something like you or Jens and I and all of the other witnesses mentioned: an automatic trigger whereby we could sign a waiver to our privacy so that the hospitals at the provincial level could communicate with the federal level. A “no questions asked” bereavement leave would be absolutely amazing.
