Ms. Jennifer O'Connell (PickeringUxbridge, Lib.): Thank you Mr Chair I will sadly report that my community of Pickering has experienced the largest number of deaths at a single COVID19 outbreak location anywhere in this country Seventy residents at Orchard Villa longterm care home died during this pandemic It was a devastating blow to our community Yesterday we received the horrific report from the Canadian Armed Forces detailing what they witnessed at Orchard Villa in Pickering Altamont Care Community in Scarborough Eatonville Care Centre in Etobicoke Hawthorne Place in North York and Holland Christian Homes Grace Manor in Brampton The loved ones of those who have passed away as well as the homes workers have asked for a full public inquiry from the Ontario government I know that the responsibility for these facilities falls within provincial jurisdiction but on behalf of our communities can the Minister of Health update us on the work she is doing to ensure that the Ontario government takes action immediately and initiates a full independent nonpartisan public inquiry and reverses its decision to create a governmentled commission that will not even start until September ?
Hon. Patty Hajdu: Mr Chair I would say that all Canadians were shocked and horrified to hear about the conditions that existed in these particular care homes We are so grateful to the members of the armed forces who not only improved conditions but also reported them quickly and appropriately to ensure amelioration of those conditions for those particular individuals We also know that there are seniors all across the country who are struggling with care and with the appropriate level of care We have to do better as a country These are our loved ones These are our parents and our grandparents These are the people in our lives who have given so much to us I stand committed to working with my provincial and territorial counterparts to ensure that we do better as a society We know that there is a role we can play at the federal level with advice with guidance with support and yes with investments We look forward to having those conversations about how best we can improve the care for all seniors amongst us
The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): We will go now to Mr Davies from Vancouver Kingsway
Mr. Don Davies (Vancouver Kingsway, NDP): Thank you Mr Chair Canadians were horrified to hear the report yesterday from our armed forces about the appalling conditions experienced by seniors in our longterm care homes Page after page detailed the filth neglect abuse and danger our seniors in care are exposed to on a daily basis Shockingly they face injury and death through missed medications expired medications unsterile devices and violations of basic contagion rules to stop the spread of COVID19 Given that evidence of possible criminal conduct was contained in the militarys report will the minister refer this matter to the RCMP for investigation immediately ?
Hon. Bill Blair: Mr Chair thanks very much to the member for those expressions of concern which we share We understand in longterm care facilities both seniors and persons living with a disability face unique challenges and the findings of this report are in fact deeply concerning and completely unacceptable Considering the severity of this report we promptly shared it with the Province of Ontario and the Province of Ontario has initiated an investigation based on the reports findings Their investigation includes alerting the provinces chief coroner who has the authority to alert the police of jurisdiction We will continue to work with the province to protect those living in longterm care facilities and we continue to support them through the deployment of our outstanding Canadian Armed Forces and in our partnership with the Red Cross
Mr. Don Davies: Mr Chair that is a shocking answer considering there is clear evidence of criminal conduct and negligence in this That this federal government is not taking immediate steps to refer this to the nations RCMP is unacceptable The seniors care crisis is a national problem COVID19 has exposed critical vulnerabilities across Canadas entire network of longterm care facilities Not a single province or territory currently meets the benchmark of 41 hours of handson care per day As a result Canada has the worst record of COVID19 deaths in longterm care among 14 comparable countries with over 80 of Canadian fatalities occurring in these facilities Will this government move swiftly to establish binding national standards for longterm care ?
Hon. Patty Hajdu: Mr Chair the member opposite is exactly correct when he says that those who are hardest hit in terms of losing their lives and the negative effects of COVID are those who are living in longterm care homes He is also correct when he indicates that COVID19 has shown us what many of us have known for a long time that we need to do better in longterm care and supports for seniors As the member knows we started those steps some four years ago or so when we began to make incredible investments in aging at home We know that is one part of the solution but we have to do better for those seniors who need a higher level of care That is the work I am doing now I am working with my colleagues at the provinces and territories to make sure that we come up with a solution that will truly result in better standards for all
Mr. Don Davies: Mr Chair what we need is binding national standards just like we set through the Canada Health Act in the health care sector generally Gross fecal contamination filthy medical equipment insect infestations ignoring patient cries for hourswe would never tolerate these conditions in Canadas hospitals There is no reason to accept them in Canadas longterm care facilities Will the minister move to bring longterm care facilities under the Canada Health Act or similar legislation with formal funds tied to acceptable standards of care for our seniors just like we do for hospitals ?
Hon. Patty Hajdu: Mr Chair the member shares the disgust and concern of so many Canadians across the country not only those who have read the report but many of those who have struggled to provide care to elders in those longterm care homes regardless of the province in which they live We know we need to do better We know that collectively at all levels of government we must do better for those people who cared for us and nurtured us all of those years The member has my commitment that I will work with provinces and territories to find a solution forward to ensure that every person has the right to age with dignity and safety
The Acting Chair (Mr. Bruce Stanton): Mr Davies you have 15 seconds for another question a short one and leave time for a response
Mr. Don Davies: Thank you Mr Chair These failures are the product of systemic neglect often motivated by prioritizing profit over the provision of adequate care Does the minister agree that we should not be putting profits above the health care needs of Canadas seniors ?
Hon. Patty Hajdu: Mr Chair I believe that when we commit to taking care of people we must do so with the utmost care that is required I know that provinces and territories have a lot of work to do So do we at the federal level and obviously at the local level We must all work together to protect those people in our lives who are most vulnerable whether they be seniors children or others | The opposition party claimed that the seniors care crisis was a national problem, and the federal government was not taking immediate response. The opposition party pointed out that these failures were the product of systemic neglect.The minister replied that they were fully aware that in long-term care facilities both seniors and persons living with a disability face unique challenges. And considering the severity of this report, the federal government promptly shared it with the Province of Ontario, and the Province of Ontario has initiated an investigation based on the report's findings. |

#Person1#: Bought it?
#Person2#: ... and my new DVD player. Here, let me show you my stereo. You can really rock the house with this one.
#Person1#: But where did you get the dough to buy all this? You didn't borrow money from mom and dad again, did you?
#Person2#: Of course not. I got it with this!
#Person1#: This? Let me see that ... Have you been using Dad's credit card again?
#Person2#: No, silly. It's mine. It's student credit card.
#Person1#: A student credit card? How in the world did you get one of these?
#Person2#: I got an application in the mail.
#Person1#: Well, why did you get one in the first place?
#Person2#: Listen. Times are changing, and having a credit card helps you build a credit rating, control spending, and even buy things that you can't pay with cash ... like the plane ticket I got recently.
#Person1#: What plane ticket?
#Person2#: Oh yeah, my roommate and I are going to Hawaii over the school break, and course, I needed some new clothes for that so ...
#Person1#: I don't want to hear it. How does having a student credit card control spending? It sounds you've spent yourself in a hole. Anyway, student credit cards just lead to impulse spending ... as I can see here. And the interest rates of student credit cards are usually sky-high, and if you miss a payment, the rates, well, just jump!
#Person2#: Ah. The credit card has a credit limit ...
#Person1#: ... of $20,000?
#Person2#: No, no quite that high. Anyway, ...
#Person1#: I've heard enough.
#Person2#: Did I tell you we now get digital cable with over 100 channels? Oh, and here's your birthday present. A new MP3 player ...
#Person1#: Yeah. Oh, don't tell me. Charged on the credit card. Listen. Hey, I don't think having a student credit card is a bad idea, but this is ridiculous. And how in the world are you going to pay off your credit card bill?
#Person2#: Um, with my birthday money? It's coming up in a week.
#Person1#: Hey, let's sit down and talk about how you're going to pay things back, and maybe we can come up with a budget that will help you get out of this mess. That's the least I can do. | #Person1#'s sister shows #Person1# her widescreen TV and a set of stereo she bought using the student credit card, and #Person1# is unhappy after knowing she also bought a plane ticket to Hawaii and new clothes. #Person1# thinks the credit cards lead to impulse spending, then #Person1#'s sister further tells #Person1# she bought a digital cable with over 100 channels and an MP3 player for #Person1#'s birthday, which makes #Person1# feel ridiculous and decide to help the sister pay things back. |
