As citizens, if we get stopped by the police and we spit on the police officer, we know exactly where we're going. In health care, patients, the community and parents do not understand that. We have to change the culture. Changing the culture starts with laws and prevention programs. It starts by MPs like you talking about it and saying that this is not okay.
My occupational health and safety experts from Alberta are going to Windsor the week of the 5th to look at the metal detectors at the Windsor hospital. That is discouraging.
