Fontaine: Still waiting – when will MPs make seniors’ care a priority?

What happens when you invite someone to your home and they don’t show up?
That’s precisely what happened earlier this year when long-term care homes across Canada opened their doors and asked MPs to pay them a visit during “#BecauseYouCare” week. When all the numbers were tallied up, less than none per cent of our 335 federal politicians accepted our invitation to visit a care home and hear directly from seniors and their care providers regarding the challenges they face.
