In my respectful view, there is probably a way you could squint at it right now and try to get people not to work in certain areas. Here, of course, we're looking at paid caregivers, perhaps either in the private pay section or in an institution. There is nothing right now civilly—and I point this out because there is a gap that perhaps the Criminal Code could assist with—that would stop a person who is a paid caregiver in any part of this country, who may have been charged or found guilty of any form of—let's call—it elder abuse, from getting another job. There are no registries available. I am part of the national long-term care technical services standard committee, and that is a piece that we're looking at, but there is nothing there now.
It would be, I think, very important to be thinking about how to make sure that we have prohibition orders for people who have been convicted, and again, it's important to know that we have many, many, many repeat offenders. We're not just necessarily looking at one person and one relationship, but where we have paid caregivers, this tends to be ongoing abusive behaviour.
I think a prohibition order with those types of denunciations in them, with those pieces that would stop or inhibit, would be a very useful tool.
