Mr. Speaker, we are deeply concerned by the outbreaks of COVID-19 in long-term care facilities. We are working with provincial counterparts closely, and PHAC released guidance for facilities on how they can protect their residents from COVID-19. Under the safe restart agreement, we are providing $740 million for measures to control and prevent infections, including in long-term care.
Going forward, we will work with provinces and territories to set new national standards for long-term care.
