Last week, Deana, a resident of Extendicare’s West End Villa, was forced into a move she didn’t want to make, thanks to the government’s Bill 7. Deana had temporarily ended up on a floor run by the Ottawa Hospital after they took over management of two floors at West End Villa. Warned that she was facing the possibility of being moved far from family, and hospital charges of up to $1,800 a day, Dina was forced to accept a room in this for-profit facility that she does not want to live in.

Why is the Premier insisting that no one will be coerced against their will when it is already happening to patients like Deana?
