Child Protect Canada

@DrNancyOlivieri @DrVivianS @witta_d @OntarioHealthC The Recent Past and Present More than 4500 people died in Ontario's long-term care institutions during the pandemic and the Canadian military reported deplorable conditions in those facilities.  SSAO believes that the details in the military report should have led to criminal investigations, but the current Ontario government never took that action. Since the military report, conditions in Ontario's long-term care institutions have continued to cause harm to residents, as documented by the government's own inspectors, yet the Ontario government continues not to revoke licenses of facilities with very troubled track records, or levy serious penalties against them or the companies that operate them.   The SSAO Board believes that incidents and conditions documented in Ministry of Long Term Care Inspection Reports continue to rise to the level of failure to provide the necessaries of life and criminal negligence causing bodily harm or death, and merit police investigation. This report details those conditions and calls on the responsible Ministers to finally take the necessary action, obtain Cabinet approval to approach the OPP with a request that facilities that continue to cause residents harm or are sufficiently negligent as to cause their deaths, be subject to criminal investigation. This report was sent today to the Attorney General, the Solicitor General, the Minister of Long-Term Care and the Premier and their staff.   Copies have also been sent to the Federal Attorney General and his staff.
