Ma question est pour la ministre de la Santé.

Every question period in this Parliament, the official opposition has brought the story of struggling Ontarians: people who waited hours in the emergency room in pain, people who had to leave the hospital without getting the care they needed, people who have waited in agony for urgent surgery. All this because of staff shortages, being made worse every day by this government’s actions.

Why is this government willing to make the waiting worse by expanding private surgical clinics, siphoning more of our staff away from public hospitals?

Why is this government so determined to let this crisis go on and tell us that the only way out is to privatize more of our health care system?

Will the government stop selling more of our health care system to private investors and bring in a staffing strategy that will improve publicly delivered health care?
