Mr. Speaker, I want to thank my colleague from Madawaska—Restigouche for his question and his hard work.
In fact, the pandemic has made us realize the extent of the problems facing our seniors in long-term care facilities across the country.
That is why, in 2021, I mandated the Minister of Health and the Minister of Seniors to develop national standards for safe long-term care to ensure that seniors receive the care they deserve.
With this important step taken, I look forward to seeing their bill introduced in the House when it is ready.
