To change a culture, every level of government needs to speak about it and to take it as a priority. That's what we're seeing now.
We talk about hope. Last September, for the first time in history, a police alert went out in Ottawa for a man driving a red truck. He had assaulted health care workers and nurses in a facility. It was the first time in history. That was the success of Bill C-3. Now we need to go further than that; that's the only one we ever heard.
For the first time in history, a man in New Brunswick went to jail for two years for assaulting a nurse. She will never work again, but for the first time in history there was criminal justice. That created a ripple effect to cause more prevention, more occupational health and safety methods to prevent violence, by tagging family members and by tagging patients. When I say “tagging”, it means that if they have a past behaviour of violence, there are special rules the team needs to know.
