"Myself and our team will call witnesses from the various facilities where she worked, from the Corner's Office, from the College of Nurses that regulates nurses and from the Ministry of Long Term Care that regulates the long term care homes to find out what are the failings in the system that allowed this to go undetected."
The inquiry will be led by Commissioner Eileen Gillese in St.Thomas which was selected as the site for the inquiry as it is easily accessible for those taking part in the proceedings.
