Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says a Canadian Armed Forces report about long-term care in Ontario is ``deeply disturbing.''
Ontario Premier Doug Ford called in military assistance last month for five long-term care homes dealing with COVID-19 outbreaks.
Trudeau says the federal government sent the report to Ontario over the weekend and when he read it, he was sad, shocked, disappointed and angry.
Trudeau says there is no doubt more needs to be done for seniors in long-term care, and Ottawa will help.
Ford is set to make an announcement today with the minister of long-term care and the solicitor general.
Ontario has seen more than 1,500 residents of long-term care die in COVID-19 outbreaks and six staff members.
