Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says we are failing our parents and grandparents in long term care homes.
Trudeau says the government is sending the military to help in long-term care homes in Ontario and Quebec.
But he says it should never have come to this, and there are tough questions to be asked once the crisis is over.
The outbreak of COVID-19 in long term care homes has outraged many Canadians and Trudeau says that outrage is not misplaced.
