Madam Chair, my question for the government is concerning long-term care homes. We have seen deplorable conditions in long-term care homes. These are seniors who are often the most vulnerable in society. They are people who are not able to defend themselves and they are faced with horrible conditions. Right now, long-term care homes are ground zero for the number of deaths. The highest numbers of deaths reported are concentrated in long-term care homes.
Will the federal government commit to implementing national standards around long-term care homes, and then putting those into our Canada Health Act to ensure that there is accountability?
