Health committee  How much of this information is shared with all health care providers in these long-term care facilities? I've been in a number in Winnipeg Centre and I didn't see coloured doors. I saw everything had white walls and maybe a kind of greenish hue on the doors. How much of this inf

Health committee  Thank you very much. Mr. Riker, I have a few questions for you. You talked a little bit about safety. It was kind of interesting. I haven't heard that conversation very much around this table very much. I was just wondering if you could talk a little bit more about the use of te

Health committee  How much of this technology is currently being used? Is anyone using any of this technology in any health care setting in Canada? Do people actually have buttons they push for assistance in home care or any other situation?

Health committee  Do a lot of employees have access to buttons they can push if they are in home care settings, for instance? Will you talk about that a little bit? Obviously, we're spending $5 billon on home care, $200 million of that in Manitoba. We often think those are very safe environments,

Health committee  These are extremely serious human rights violations, which you have termed “genocide”, which has also been termed “genocide” by international organizations. Do you believe doctors should be losing their licences over forced sterilization? That question is for anyone.

Health committee  Dr. Stote, you talked about how back in the 1970s there were over 1,000 sterilizations.

Health committee  That seems like an awful lot.

Health committee  You also laid out, to be honest, a systematic pattern related to the Indian Act about reducing and curbing the birth rate among the indigenous population in order to, obviously, control expenses related to indigenous peoples and control lands.

Health committee  That would also be related to the Indian Act, which controls membership, such as who is an Indian and who is not a status Indian. Is that right?

Health committee  I know NWAC has a strong position on that, related to, for instance, who is a status Indian and who is not a status Indian. There was even a bill before Parliament, Senate Bill S-3, which looked at enlarging the number of people who were supposed to receive status. That would rep
