Details have been scarce so far on what the Gallant government’s proposed new council on aging will do.
Seniors advocate Cecile Cassista says her suggestion is to bring all stakeholders together in a summit.
“Let’s work out the terms of references. And then let’s take a look at what segments we’re going to look at. So I’m not really sure if that’s the route they are going to go,” notes Cassista.
More information is expected this fall from the Gallant government since both the premier and Social Development Minister Cathy Rogers admit cancelling nursing home fee hikes and keeping the status quo is not the answer.
