I can jump in quickly just to say that we do support the development of elder abuse legislation in Canada that is multi-faceted and that is attached to the older adult and not to a particular setting.
I do want to very quickly speak to the concept of owner, because this legislation as presented does not provide a definition of what a long-term care owner is, and there are a multitude of definitions for how that looks across the country. We have provincial governments, regional health authorities, municipal governments, indigenous communities, non-profit community boards, faith-based organizations and a range of private corporations that own these homes, so defining “owner” is not simple, and it is not defined within this legislation as presented.
