Mr. Speaker, as the second COVID wave hits Canadians, our loved ones in long-term care are bracing for the worst. They have good reason to be worried. Some of the deadliest outbreaks in Ontario and Manitoba happened in for-profit homes owned by the federal government. These homes were grossly understaffed and there was not enough protective equipment to keep residents or workers safe, all to maximize profits.
The federal government is failing our seniors in care homes it owns. When will it act and fix the problems in for-profit care?
