I appreciate the response, but I will say, if you repeal Bill 124, that will certainly help with your staffing.

This is not the first incident of this kind in a private, for-profit long-term-care home in the province of Ontario. We learned recently that this government is going to fast-track the expansion of Orchard Villa, a private, for-profit home where the military had to step in during COVID, where residents were left with spoiled diapers, rooms were overrun by bugs, and where some seniors died due to dehydration. And we know that during COVID, the vast majority of deaths happened in private, for-profit homes.

When is this minister and this government going to stand up to the private long-term-care companies and say enough is enough?
