I think it's going to give a message to those people who do abuse the elderly criminally that this is not going to be taken lightly by our society. I was just at a meeting in Quebec with some police officers and other health professionals who are looking at.... In Quebec, we do have an action plan for elder abuse, and when I showed them this, they were all excited. There are a lot of things that go along to get to this point of sentencing. I think that's the biggest question. But they do want the message to get across. For those people who do abuse the elderly, who do crimes against the elderly, if it gets to this point, it's something that is not going to be tolerated. It is serious.
Right now there's no message out there. In terms of fraud against the elderly, we know how high it is. In terms of situations of neglect against the elderly, we have plenty of situations where we've seen that. We know it's a complex issue, but right now the legal way of addressing it, or a criminal way, is a last resort. When it gets to that point, we want the message to be clear.
