I will ask Mr. McCallion to provide some of the operational details. First, however, it is completely unacceptable, regardless of the context, for any of our healthcare workers to be assaulted or abused. We must have a zero-tolerance approach. We all know patients and their families can end up in distressing situations. I fully acknowledge that, but it is never acceptable for our healthcare workers to be on the receiving end of that kind of abuse or the assaults about which testimony was given to this committee recently.
