A public inquiry into the Elizabeth Wettlaufer case will shine a light on how she managed to kill eight people while working in long term care facilities.
The Liberal Government is conducting a public inquiry into the Elizabeth Wettlaufer case.
The inquiry comes after the former Woodstock Nurse was sentenced to life in prison earlier today. She pled guilty to eight counts of first degree murder, four counts of attempted murder, and two counts of aggravated assault on June 1st.
Oxford MPP Ernie Hardeman says the government needs to make sure this never happens again.
"I have spent weeks listening to the victims’ families and the community about their concerns in this case. It remains unthinkable how eight vulnerable people could have been killed with no one noticing or worse, turning a blind eye. The public deserves answers. We need to know what happened to ensure that nothing like this can ever happen again, which is why I took action two weeks ago demanding the Minister of Health give us answers."
Hardeman believes the government should started this inquiry a long time ago.
"The decision to hold an inquiry shouldn’t have taken this long. The government could have provided some comfort to these families earlier by agreeing to their first requests for an inquiry instead of making them wait until now and ask for this inquiry over and over."
