Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Miller, you talked about the failure to prosecute administrators, directors, officers and persons responsible for overseeing long-term care facilities in instances of abuse and neglect. You cited some applicable sections of the Criminal Code, including the failure to provide the necessaries of life and criminal negligence. As you noted, under those sections of the code, officers and administrators are not being prosecuted. What is the reason for that? Do you believe that these sections are simply inadequate and that we need additional laws on the books?
You endorsed, in part, what had been proposed at the last committee meeting by Mr. Webb. Perhaps you could elaborate a little more on this to provide me with a bit of a better understanding of the lay of the land and what gaps really need to be closed.
