The leader of the NDP wants heads to roll as a result of a recent report from the Canadian Military about “horrific” conditions at five long term care homes in southern Ontario.
An angry Andrea Horwath says the government has to be held accountable.
“I think the conversation now has to be about the minister and the premier actually stepping up to the plate. Particularly the premier in terms of ensuring their is some kind of accountability, some kind of response to this month.”
Horwath says she wants the Minister for Long Term Care, Merrilee Fullerton to resign and for the government to call a public inquiry.
“Let’s not pretend. This is not news to Merrilee Fullerton. This is not news to Doug Ford. This is not news to Christine Elliott.”
The Canadian Armed Forces findings outline serious concerns around infection prevention, safety, staffing and level of care.
