Thank you very much, MP Sidhu, for the opportunity and the question.
I think what we immediately need to see is a timeline first and an action plan. We need the federal government and the provinces and territories and the incredible expertise that exists on the subject around the same table.
We know that staffing is key, and I spoke about those staff ratios already. We need fair wages within this sector. Within the context of COVID, we need testing priority for LTCs and prioritized cohorting with regard to the outbreak. That's why things got really bad in my parents' LTC, and it's still happening now.
We need a maximum of two people per room. That could be implemented immediately. We need universal access for the essential caregivers because that's very uneven across the country.
Then in the longer term, of course, we need norms and standards of care and training. We need norms in terms of infrastructure. Accountability is key. I'm sure you all saw the report on Marketplace on the CBC. Horrifying. Absolutely horrifying.
