My question is to the Premier. Premier, did you know that, last year in Hamilton, 200 people called for an ambulance and none were available? These frightening incidents are called code zeroes or code reds, and they’re happening all across Ontario, in all of our ridings. Paramedics and front-line workers continue to raise the alarm. When will this government act to ensure that when people call for emergency help, it is there for them?

Back to the Premier: Despite what we’re hearing, these things are just continuing to get worse, not better. Since April of last year, your government has withheld $6.4 billion that could have gone to address this life-and-death critical issue. Your government supported my private member’s motion to make this a priority, and since then, we have not heard or seen anything.

When will this government act—this is a life-and-death issue—to ensure Ontarians get emergency help when and where they need it?
