Chantal Laverge (standing at microphone) presented Alfred-Plantagenet council with her arguments against the proposed closure of the Pinecrest Residence long-term-care home in Plantagenet and the planned transfer of its 60-bed operating licence to a 320-bed care facility planned for Cornwall. Council agreed with Laverge that the public consultation process on the Pinecrest closure issue was faulty and will file its own objection to the issue online through the provincial registry before the end of the October 16 deadline for comments on the licence transfer application. Council will also send a letter to Natalia Kusendova-Basht, minister of long-term care and also minister for Francophone affairs, demanding that the licence transfer request be postponed until a second public review hearing on the issue is held in Plantagenet and advertised in both French and English in local newspapers to ensure that families of residents who may be affected by the closure and the general public know about the review hearing and are able to attend.
