I have a petition here signed by Donna Vanden Hoven. She has signed the petition.
“Health Care: Not for Sale.
“To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario: ...
“Whereas the Ford government wants to privatize our health care system;
“Whereas privatization will bleed nurses, doctors and PSWs out of our public hospitals and will download costs to patients;”
“We, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to immediately stop all plans to privatize Ontario’s health care system, and fix the crisis in health care by:
“—repealing Bill 124 to help recruit, retain, return and respect health care workers with better pay and better working conditions;
“—licensing tens of thousands of internationally educated nurses and other health care professionals already in Ontario;
“—incentivizing health care professionals to choose to live and work in northern Ontario.”
I fully support this petition, sign it and ask page Frederick to deliver it to the table.
