ARNBC executive director Joy Peacock and president
Julie Fraser were in Ottawa with CNA CEO Anne
Sutherland Boal, president Karima Velji and other

Specifically they asked for:
1. Standards across Canada for home health care that
support seniors and healthy aging
2. More support for Canadians who provide care for
aging relatives by making the existing Family Caregiver
Tax Credit refundable
