Thank you, Marilee.
I apologize, Madam Chair, for my connection issue.
I'll just say that there are a number of tools out there that can help nurses and others to recognize when this is happening.
One of the challenges is that we're often operating in someone's home. Whether the home is the long-term care setting or their actual home, there are technologies we could harness, for example, cameras and so on, to help people, or a daily call or daily check-in. There are some pieces that can be put in place to help us make lives safer.
I'm sorry; this may have been covered when my connection dropped, but I will also add that our systems are well tuned to capture quality and safety errors, often errors of omission. They aren't looking for high crimes and misdemeanours, so to speak. You know there's been a terrible example in Ontario of a registered nurse who killed a number of patients and moved from site to site.
One of the things the government could do is push very hard for the health care sector to have unique identifiers so that we can track people across employment settings, careers and so on. That's absent at this time, and, while it might not seem believable, people can move with a bad record to different places. That's something the government could do.
