Did you hear what the Health Minister said when asked why so many doctors are leaving Ontario?

'Not a major concern.'

Well, its a MAJOR concern to the Ontario NDP. We're going to create a healthcare system where everyone gets access.

No exceptions.

Today, I was pleased to support Bhutila Karpoche's Private Member's Bill that would establish a Homelessness Task Force of advocates, front-line workers, and unhoused people to apply their expertise to develop a provincial homelessness strategy. Ontario desperately needs this.

I'd be interested to hear a recording of this. Also worth noting the other person up there is Peter Van Loan, a registered lobbyist who has represented developers that stand or stood to benefit from a variety of Ford government decisions, including the Greenbelt changes.
