The core issue was whether the respondents' facility met the definition of a retirement home under the Retirement Homes Act, specifically concerning the "administration of a drug or other substance." The court found that the respondents did administer drugs based on the ordinary meaning of the term, their own definition, and a purposive interpretation of the Act, which aims to protect vulnerable individuals.

The court also found other care services were provided.

Given the respondents' history of non-compliance and deliberate attempts to avoid regulation, the court granted the RHRA's request to shut down the premises, ordering it to be vacated within six months, and awarded costs to the applicant.

The Tribunal also found the Appellant lacked honesty and integrity, and that her COVID-19 policies and actions were prejudicial to the health and safety of the residents.

The appeal was dismissed, the licence revocation was confirmed, and costs were awarded to the Respondent due to the Appellant's unreasonable conduct during the hearing.
