I think the most appropriate person to answer that question would be the caregiver, but I can give you my take, based on what I know. As far as I learned, there was a forum in Toronto. I wasn't at the forum, actually. I was at another forum with caregivers at that particular time.
From my understanding, at that forum where several caregivers were present, whoever was conducting or chairing the meeting invited caregivers to come forward and talk about their experience as caregivers. This particular caregiver came forward and related a story that involved a public figure.
I must point out, though, that prior to this whole political melee, I had no idea that the person involved was of that stature, a politician. I remember the name only because it was the name of a birthstone. That's it. I didn't know who she was.
