Good morning, everybody.
First of all, I would like to thank all the witnesses who spent their valuable time, at this very challenging time, to share their experiences and their views on the very important topic of the impact of COVID on women.
I would like to say that I also come from the perspective of somebody who has visited many long-term care homes before COVID, in a good number of years. Also, even during COVID, I was able to deliver masks to staffers at different seniors homes in the Lower Mainland. I heard them. I saw them. I will definitely appreciate all the good work they've been doing, and all the challenges as well.
Now, with respect to CALTC, Ms. Jodi Hall, I believe your association has written a letter to the Prime Minister stating that long-term care should be included in any statement of shared principals, and that long-term care homes be a top priority in a shared health system planning on moving forward. That is something you wanted the Prime Minister to ensure.
I just want to know whether you received any response from him.
