Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I'll be splitting my time with Mr. Sarai, so I'll keep it fairly brief.
I want to recognize, first of all, that this is National Nursing Week, so thank you to all of the nurses who are doing this extremely important care, particularly, Ms. Majowski. I know you are a registered nurse. I am married to one.
Second, I would just say thank you to all of you for the work you are doing and your commitment to this cause.
We're very seized of the issue of standards, which has come up repeatedly, and with the issue of funding to support those standards. That's why, as a government, between the fall economic statement and the current budget, we've committed about $4 billion in total to this sector alone.
What's important is that we also recognize that standards will, by necessity, still be breached.
I want to address this question particularly to Ms. Hajek, because I don't think she has weighed in on it yet, about this criminal component. We've heard from Mr. Lake on this and I've heard a little bit from Ms. Majowski about it.
One, do you feel, Ms. Hajek, that we need to improve the criminal standards for neglect of those who are in care? Two, if so, do you appreciate or endorse what was suggested by Mr. Webb at the last panel?
