"THE NATIONAL," THE RCMP
COMMISSIONER DID NOT AGREE
OUTRIGHT WITH THE PRIME MINISTER
THAT ANTI-RACISM EXISTS IN THE

QUESTION BECAUSE IN THE LAST

IN BOTH ONTARIO AND IN ALBERTA.
THAT'S BECAUSE ALBERTA HAS
SUBDUED THE VIRUS FOR NOW.
THE RATE OF DAILY CASES HAS BEEN
RELATIVELY LOW FOR WEEKS AND
THIS IS WITH ROBUST TESTING.
THE PROGRESS IN ONTARIO HAS BEEN
MORE MIXED, TESTING IN THE
PROVINCE HAS GONE UP AND OVER
THE PAST WEEK IT REVEALED LESS
OF THE VIRUS THAT THIS IS STILL
THE WORST RATE OF DAILY NEW
CASES IN THE COUNTRY.
THAT ISSUE IS ONE OF THE REASONS
WHY BUSINESSES ARE ONLY OPENING

CAN NOW NOT ONLY HANG OUT
TOGETHER BUT HUG EACH OTHER.
MIKE CRAWLEY WITH THE LATEST ON
WHAT ONTARIO CALLS SOCIAL
CIRCLES.

I WOULD INCLUDE MY CLOSEST
FRIENDS AND SISTERS.

YOUR GRANDPARENT OR SHARING A
MEAL WITH YOUR PARENTS OR
CLOSEST FRIENDS.

FROM OFFICIALS, ONE CIRCLE ONLY,
NO CLOSE CONTACT WITH ANYBODY
FROM ANOTHER.
THE FEAR FROM SOME DOCTORS IS

FACILITIES.
AUSTRALIA IS MUCH MORE STRICT.
GRAEMME PRIOR RUNS ONE OF THE
MOST PROFITABLE CARE HOMES IN
AUSTRALIA AND SAYS THE
INSPECTIONS ARE RIGOROUS.
>> IF WE GET A REPORT FROM
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES IN SIX
MONTH'S TIME FROM THE INSPECTION
AND IT'S NEGATIVE ONE, WE'VE GOT
28 DAYS TO FIX IT.
THERE'S NO MUCKIN' AROUND AND
THERE'S NO, I'LL THINK ABOUT IT.
WE'LL BE SANCTIONED AND OUT OF
BUSINESS IN SIX MONTHS.
>> Reporter:  TWELVE HOMES WERE
SHUT DOWN IN AUSTRALIA IN 2016
AND ZERO IN ONTARIO AND NONE
AGAIN LAST YEAR.
TAMARA DALY IS A SENIOR CARE
EXPERT.
>> WE DON'T SEEM TO HAVE THE
KIND OF TEETH THAT THEY HAVE
GIVEN TO THEIR INSPECTORS AND WE
DON'T ACT AS READILY TO SHUT A
HOME DOWN.
SO THEY REMOVE ACCREDITATION
REALLY FAST AND AS A RESULT OF
THAT, I THINK THAT THEY ARE
GETTING BETTER COMPLIANCE WITH
THEIR STANDARDS.
>> Reporter:  GOVERNMENT
SPENDING ON SENIOR CARE IS ABOUT
THE SAME IN CANADA AND
AUSTRALIA, BUT THEY SEEM TO GET
MORE FOR THEIR MONEY.
AS OF 2015, ALL SENIOR HOMES IN
AUSTRALIA HAVE PRIVATE ROOMS FOR
SINGLES OR SEMIPRIVATE FOR TWO
PEOPLE SHARING.
>> BASICALLY, THEY WANT TWO
PEOPLE PER ROOM WITH THEIR OWN
ON-SUITE.
IN TERMS OF TOILETS OUR SHOWERS,
NO MORE THAN SIX RESIDENTS IN A
HOME.
>> Reporter:  IN CANADA, 38% OF
HOMES HAVE ROOMS FOR FOUR
RESIDENTS.
CANADIAN PERSONAL SUPPORT
WORKERS OFTEN HAVE TO CARE FOR
UP TO 36 RESIDENTS AND THAT
LEADS TO A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE
TWO COUNTRY'S APPROACH TO
PATIENT BATHING.
>> IF I WANTED TO PUT MY MOTHER
IN ONE OF YOUR HOMES AND SAID,
LOOK, I WOULD LIKE HER TO HAVE A
BATH EVERY DAY, COULD I MAKE
THAT REQUEST AND WOULD IT BE
FULFILLED?
>> OF COURSE YOU CAN.
YOU WOULD BE LOOKED AT LIKE I'M
LOOKING AT YOU RIGHT NOW, QUITE
QUIZCALLY.
EVERYONE GETS A BATH EVERYDAY.
>> WHAT ABOUT IN ONTARIO?
>> IN ONTARIO, NO.
NO.
[ Laughter ]
>> YOU ARE ENTITLED TO TWO BATH
TIMES EACH WEEK.
>> Reporter:  A TRACE OF DROP IN
THE STAFFING LEVELS BACK IN THE
1990'S WHEN CONSERVATIVE MIKE
HARRIS WAS PREMIER.
HARRIS BUDGETED AN EXTRA BILLION
DOLLARS FOR SENIOR CARE BUT HIS
GOVERNMENT DIRECTEDDED 60% TO
FORMER PROFIT PROVIDERS AND CUT
STAFFING.
>> MIKE HARRIS NOT RID OF THE
MINIMUM STAFFING LEVEL FOR ALL
FRONT-LINE STAFF, CUTTING
MINIMUM STAFFING HAS HAD A
NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE SECTOR
OVERALL.
>> Reporter:  AFTER HE LEFT
POLITICS, MIKE HARRIS BECAME THE
PROFIT FOR ONE OF ONTARIO'S
CHARTWELL HOMES.
CONSIDER THIS ONE HOME IN
KINGSVILLE, ONTARIO.
GOVERNMENT INSPECTION REPORTS
SHOW THAT THE HOME HAS BEEN
CITED DOZENS OF TIMES IN RECENT
YEARS FOR NOT MAINTAINING
ADEQUATE STAFFING.
FOLLOWUP IN INSPECTIONS FOUND
THAT THE CHARTWELL OPERATORS
FAILED TO COMPLY WITH
REGULATIONS AND THERE HAS BEEN
LITTLE CONSEQUENCE FOR THEM.
>> THEY'RE GETTING AWAY WITH IT
BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT SERIOUS
CONSEQUENCES.
TELL ME WHERE IN ANY PROVINCE IN
CANADA, WHERE THE GOVERNMENT
SAID, YOU ARE NOT MEETING THE
STANDARDS THAT YOU SHOULD BE
MEETING AND WE'RE PUTTING IN AN
ADMINISTRATOR TO BRING THE CARE
STANDARDS IN THE HOME AND THE
SERVICE PROVISION UP TO STANDARD
BEFORE WE WILL ALLOW YOU TO TAKE
IT OVER AGAIN AND YOU HAVE TO BE
ABLE TO DEMONSTRATE TO US THAT
YOU'RE CAPABLE OF RUNNING THE
NURSING HOME.
IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
>> Reporter:  THE ONTARIO
GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCED IT WOULD
FINALLY TAKE OVER NINE SENIOR
HOMES AND NONE BELONG TO
CHARTWELL, WHICH DOES NOT HAVE
THE WORST DEATH RECORD AMONG
PROVIDERS.
A CRUCIAL TOOL TO FIND MAJOR
PROBLEMS IS FOR INSPECTORS TO
ARRIVE WITHOUT WARNING.
IN AUSTRALIA, RECENT RECORDS
SHOW 3,099 UNANNOUNCED
INSPECTIONS IN A YEAR AND CBC
NEWS DISCOVERED THAT IN ONTARIO
LAST YEAR, THERE WERE ONLY NINE
UNANNOUNCED INSPECTIONS.
OF THE SIX WORSE SENIOR HOMES
WHERE THE GOVERNMENT WAS
DISPATCHED TO HELP OUT, FIVE ARE
NONPROFIT HOMES.
>> WE KNOW NONPROFIT AND PUBLIC
HOMES POUR MONEY IN AND HAVE
HIGHER STAFFING LEVELS, AS WELL
AS BETTER WORKPLACE PROTECTION
SO THEY HAVE MORE PERMANENT
STAFF, MORE STAFF THAT HAVE
BENEFITS.
>> Reporter:  IN CANADA, THE
COST OF SENIOR CARE VARIES A LOT
DEPENDING ON THE PROVINCE
WHETHER IT'S PUBLIC OR PRIVATE,
URBAN OR RURAL.
GREG SHAW THINKS THAT IS A BIG
ARGUMENT TO HAVE A FEDERALLY
REGULATED AND CONTROLLED SENIOR
CARE SYSTEM AS THEY HAVE IN
AUSTRALIA.
>> IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU
LIVE IN AUSTRALIA, YOU CAN
ACCESS THE SAME LEVEL OF SERVICE
AT THE SAME COST AND SAME CARE
PROVISION WITH THE SAME
MEASURABLE OUTCOMES,
IRRESPECTIVE OF WHERE YOU LIVE.
OUR NATIONAL SYSTEM CERTAINLY
WORKS WELL IN THE AUSTRALIAN
CONTEXT.
>> Reporter:  IN ONTARIO, A
GREAT DEAL OF THE MONEY SPENT ON
SENIOR CARE ENDS UP IN EXECUTIVE
COMPENSATION AND SHAREHOLDER
DIVIDENDS FOR THE PRIVATE
PROVIDERS.
THE TORONTO STAR REPORTS THAT
FOR MIKE HARRIS' CHARTWELL
CORPORATION, THAT FIGURE WAS
$845 MILLION OVER THE LAST TEN
YEARS.
AT THE END OF LAST YEAR, THEY
PERSONALLY HAD A $7 MILLION
STAKE IN THE COMPANY.
>> WE ALSO DO HAVE QUITE A BIT
OF PROFIT-TAKING IN THIS SECTOR
AND SO WE NEED TO ASK REALLY,
REALLY CLEAR QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW
WE WANT PUBLIC DOLLARS USED AND
WHAT WE NEED TO DEMAND.
>> Reporter:  ONTARIO PREMIER
DOUG FORD HAS PLEDGED TO
COMPLETELY RETHINK SENIOR CARE
IN HIS PROVINCE BUT WILL FACE A
DETERMINED CAMPAIGN BY THE
FOR-PROFIT SECT TE TOR SECTOR TO GUARD ITS
STAKE IN THE SYSTEM.
>> I THINK I HAD ONE CALL IN THE
LAST SIX WEEKS FROM FORMER
PREMIER HARRIS, ASKED HOW HE WAS
DOING AND TO BE FRANK, I DIDN'T
EVEN KNOW HE WAS THE CHAIR OF
CHARTWELL.
>> Reporter:  MIKE HARRIS JUST
HIRED HIS FORMER ONTARIO
CAMPAIGN MANAGER, LESLIE NOBLE
TO MANAGE THE FORD GOVERNMENT ON
THIS FILE.
DOUG FORD WILL ALSO BE LOBBIED
BY HIS OWN FORMER CAMPAIGN
SPOKESPERSON MELISSA LANCEMAN
AND LAUREN McDONALD WHO BOTH
HAVE JUST BEEN HIRED AS
LOBBYISTS BY OTHER FOR-PROFIT
PROVIDERS.
A FEW WEEKS AGO, JUSTIN TRUDEAU
SPECULATED ALOUD HOW THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT SHOULD GET MORE
INVOLVED IN SENIOR CARE AND SHOT
DOWN BY FRANÇOIS LEGAULT WHO
BASICALLY SUGGESTED THAT THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT SHOULD MIND
ITS OWN BUSINESS AND STAY IN ITS
OWN TO JURISDICTION.
THE POLITICS OF THIS SITUATION
HAVE PUSHED TRUDEAU TO BACK DOWN
BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT, THE
SENIOR CARE HOMES ARE SEEN AS A
TERRIBLE PROBLEM THAT TARNISHES
ANY POLITICIAN RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE MESS THERE.
THERE IS SOME QUESTION AS TO
WHETHER THE COVID-19 DISASTER AT
LONG-TERM CARE FACILITIES WILL
CHANGE THAT POLITICAL
CALCULATION BECAUSE THE PUBLIC
MIGHT DEMAND CHANGE.
TERRANCE McKENNA, CBC NEWS,
TORONTO.
>> Ian:  AND WE WILL CONTINUE
OUR IN-DEPTH CONTINUE OF THE
CRISIS IN CANADA'S LONG-TERM
CARE HOMES.
THE STORIES OF LIVES LOST, THE
FAMILIES LEFT BEHIND AND THE
DEMANDS FOR CHANGE, MORE ON
MONDAY ON "THE NATIONAL."
>> WHEN WE COME BACK, A
COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER TO
CELEBRATE A FEW SPECIAL GRADS.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> THEIR DRIVE-BY GRADUATION IS
NEXT.
>> Ian:  IN SHOULD BE THE SEASON
OF PARTIES AND PROMS.
INSTEAD, HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF FRAYED 12'S ARE MISSING OUT
SO A BUSINESS IN AJAX, ONTARIO,
DECIDED TO THROW A UNIQUE
CELEBRATION FOR DESERVING
STUDENTS.
>> THE WHOLE MISSION FOR TODAY
WAS TO GIVE BACK, YOU KNOW, THIS
IS A TIME WHERE WE REALLY NEED
TO, YOU KNOW, BE SELF-LESS AND
EVEN THOUGH OUR EVENT'S BUSINESS
HAS TAKEN A HUGE HIT, IT IS
IMPORTANT TO GIVE BACK.
I'M STEPHANIE RILEY, THE
MANAGING DIRECTOR OF SETTING THE
BAR WHICH IS A HOSPITALITY
SERVICE.
GRADUATION IS SUCH A MILESTONE
IN OUR CHILDREN'S LIVES AND THE
FACT THEY WEREN'T ABLE TO
CELEBRATE IN SCHOOL IN TERMS OF
GRAD AND PROM, IT WAS IMPORTANT
FOR US TO DO SOMETHING.
SO WE PICKED THESE GIRLS BECAUSE
THEY WERE NOMINATED AND WE
REACHED OUT TO OUR NETWORK.
THEY GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL, AJAX
HIGH, AND THEY'RE A PART OF THE
SAME DANCE STUDIO AND HAVE BEEN
FRIENDS SINCE THEY WERE TINY
ONES.
THESE THREE ARE HARD-WORKING,
MANAGED TO KEEP THEIR GRADES UP,
ALL HEADING OFF TO UNIVERSITY
THIS YEAR AND A WAY TO CELEBRATE
THEM.
>> WHEN I KNEW SHE WASN'T GOING
TO GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL, MY
HEART WAS IN PIECES.
SO WHEN WE GOT THE CALL FROM
STEPHANIE, I THOUGHT WOW!
>> BEST SURPRISE EVER, SUCH A
BLESSING.
[ * ]
* HAVE THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE.
[CHEERS AND APPLAUSE]
>> I'M EXTATIC.
YOU KNOW, TO SEE THE GIRLS
SURPRISED, WHICH WAS THE
ULTIMATE GOAL, TO KEEP IT A
SURPRISE AND ALL OF THEIR
FRIENDS KNOWING AND SOCIAL MEDIA
AND THAT, THE FACT WE COULD KEEP
IT A SURPRISE WAS HUGE FOR US.
WE WERE HAPPY WITH THAT
ACCOMPLISHMENT.
>> IT'S SO COOL TO SEE EVERYONE.
ORS, MY GOD!
SO MANY PEOPLE, I HAD NO IDEA.
(HONKING).
>> IT'S SO ENCOURAGING TO SEE
ALL OUR FRIENDS AND STUFF FROM
EVERYWHERE.
IT'S AWESOME!
>> IT'S GREAT.
I HAVEN'T SEEN A LOT OF THESE
PEOPLE IN A LONG TIME AND IT'S
GREAT TO SEE THEM AGAIN.
>> IS THAT JULIA!
>> SO HAPPY TO SHOW ALL OF THEIR
FRIENDS IN ALL THOSE CARS, YEAH,
IT BROUGHT ME TO TEARS.
>> THE END RESULT, YES, IT WAS
EVERYTHING WE WANTED AND MORE
BECAUSE THE SURPRISE WORKED OUT
AND THE GIRLS WERE EXTATIC, YOU
KNOW, THERE WERE TEARS WHICH IS
AMAZING, THE KIDS AND PARENTS,
THE GUESTS COMING BY WERE
SMILING AND HAPPY AND, AGAIN,
MORE TEARS, SO MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED IN THAT REGARD.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO, YOU
KNOW, CHERISH MOMENTS LIKE THIS
IN A TIME LIKE THIS.
[ Laughter ]
(HONKING).
>> NEXT ON "THE NATIONAL," YOU
KNOW THE SAYING, GOOD FENCES
MAKE GOOD NEIGHBOURS,
>> Ian:  TAFNY AND MORGAN ARE
BEST FRIENDS AND HAPPEN TO LIVE
RIGHT BESIDE EACH OTHER.
WITH COVID-19, THEY'VE STRUGGLED
TO FIND A WAY TO CONNECT.
BUT THEIR PARENTS CAME UP WITH A
CREATIVE PLAN TO GET THE GIRLS
BACK TO HANGING OUT FACE TO
FACE.
AND THAT IS OUR "MOMENT."
>> YOU WANNA DRAW, OK?
>> THESE GIRLS HAVE BEEN BEST
FRIENDS A NUMBER OF YEARS,
PLAYING IN THE BACKYARD
TOGETHER.
THEY WERE ABLE TO HEAR EACH
OTHER BUT NOT SEE EACH OTHER.
THE FIRST THING MY HUSBAND AND I
DID WAS TO REMOVE EVERY OTHER
PICKET ON THE FENCE SO THEY
COULD SEE EACH OTHER.
AFTER AWHILE, WE JUST WANTED
THEM TO GET A LITTLE BIT CLOSER
AND I GOT THE IDEA TO PUT A
WINDOW IN DOWN THE SIDE OF THE
FENCE.
>> HAVING THE GLASS HAS MADE IT
EASIER BECAUSE WE CAN, LIKE, SEE
EACH OTHER BETTER INSTEAD OF
SHARING A SCREEN FOR THE WHOLE
DAY.
>> I WAS THINKING ENOUGH IS
ENOUGH.
THEY NEED TO SEE EACH OTHER.
THEY'RE BEST FRIENDS AND IT'S
MAKING ME SAD THAT THEY COULDN'T
INTERACT THE WAY THEY USED TO.
AND I HAD IT INSTALLED IN A DAY
AND HAVEN'T LOOKED BACK.
[ Laughter ]
>> Ian:  OK, THAT VIDEO WINS ME
OVER.
I WASN'T EXACTLY SURE ABOUT THAT
MOMENT THROUGHOUT THE DAY
BECAUSE I THOUGHT, WHY DON'T
THEY JUST HANG OUT IN THE YARD
AND STAY TWO METRES, SIX FEET
AWAY FROM EACH OTHER.
BUT MEG, ONE OF HER PRODUCERS
SAID AHEAD LIVED NEXT TO HER
BEST FRIEND TO 12 YEARS OLD AND
CONVINCED TO AND I THOUGHT IT
WAS GREAT.
THAT IS "TH "THE NATIONAL" FOR JUNE
