Mr. Speaker, I thank my colleague for her comments.
I worked in the health sector for 20 years, more specifically in long-term care homes for seniors.
Before I became a member of Parliament, I was an MPP, so I understand how important collaboration is. However, one thing is for sure now: When people call my riding office, they tell me that I need to do something. We need to address long-term care services in Ontario and all across Canada. That is what the federal government plans to do.
I think that Canada-wide standards are important if we want to protect our beloved seniors and keep them, and all Canadians, safe and healthy.
