It certainly would be helpful. But I should mention that in Ontario in July 2010, the Long-Term Care Homes Act was an amalgamation of three different provincial statutes. There is now mandated elder abuse reporting within long-term care. There is a section in that legislation that directs that allegations be in fact reported. It's not necessarily that actual criminal offences have to be reported, but even allegations or suspicions of criminal activity relating to elder abuse.
In the new Retirement Homes Act—which is not yet in force—there is also a section that relates to reporting elder abuse to police.
