Mr. Speaker, we need to protect those living and working in long-term care.
We have provided $740 million to provinces and territories to bring in measures to control and prevent infections, including in long-term care. On November 30, we announced an additional $1 billion, in the fall economic statement, to create the safe long-term care fund.
We are working closely with the provinces and territories to protect those in care by providing guidance to prevent and address outbreaks, and to set new, very important national standards.
