The Honourable Deb Schulte, P.C., M.P.
Minister of Seniors
House of Commons
Ottawa, ON K1A 0A6
Dear Minister:
Following up on our previous conversations, I write today with my wholehearted support for a national standard for long-term care.
The pandemic has laid bare what we have known for decades and failed to act on when it comes to long-term care. Some homes provide an inadequate level of care to our seniors. It is unbecoming of a country such as Canada to have those who cared for us and raised us to be treated in the ways described in the media.
I look forward to working together to improve the quality of life of our seniors.
Yours sincerely,
Ryan Turnbull
Member of Parliament for Whitby
