He's calling for regulations for supportive living homes.
Niagara Centre M-P-P Jeff Burch introduced his private member's bill in the legislature yesterday.
The Protecting Vulnerable Persons in Supportive Living Accommodation Bill gives a framework and sets minimum standards for operators.
Burch says we've heard too many shocking stories of high-risk adults and seniors being mistreated, neglected and left to live in deplorable conditions.
He says the legislation would finally require operators to be licensed and will ensure all Ontarians receive a high standard of care.
Under the bill, failure to have a license would mean fines up to a thousand dollars a day.
