An Act to amend the Criminal Code (neglect of vulnerable adults)
Sponsor:
Hedy Fry, Member of Parliament (Vancouver Centre)
Proposed changes
This enactment amends the Criminal Code to create an offence for long-term care facilities, their owners and their managers to fail to provide necessaries of life to residents of the facilities. The enactment also allows the court to make an order prohibiting the owners and the managers of such facilities from being, through employment or volunteering, in charge of or in a position of trust or authority towards vulnerable adults and to consider as an aggravating factor for the purpose of sentencing the fact that an organization failed to perform the legal duty that it owed to a vulnerable adult.
