We have failed so many of those living in long-term care facilities, she said in her budget-day speech in the House of Commons. To them, and to their families, let me say this. I am so sorry. We owe you so much better than this. To begin to fix it, the government is promising $3 billion over the next five years to help provinces implement new standards. The funds won t begin to flow until next year, after those standards are in place. Freeland said they will be based on work underway by the Canadian Standards Association and the Health Standards Organization, which began last month.
