Restart the clock.
Final supplementary.
Every measure we put in place, the opposition votes against it—doom and gloom every single day.
But what we’re seeing is a record number of applications to be nurses in colleges and universities across Ontario—25,000 applications right here, post-secondary education in Ontario. And why is that? That’s because of the investments we’re making in long-term care and the Ministry of Health—58,000 new and upgraded beds in long-term care; $40-billion capital investments over 52 projects that will add 3,000 new beds over the next 10 years; new hospitals in Brampton, in Windsor, in Niagara Falls.
Students want to become nurses, and the post-secondary education opportunities right here in Ontario are driving those students to those opportunities.
