Decentralized Democracy

Ontario Assembly

43rd Parl. 1st Sess.
October 23, 2023 09:00AM

I always like to stand up here and tell the truth, and I’m not really sticking up for the Liberals, but the reality is, under Mike Harris, you laid off 6,000 nurses—let’s be clear on that—and you closed multiple hospitals. So let’s at least be accurate and tell the truth on that particular issue.

I see the labour minister is here, so I’m going to ask this question to the Liberal, hoping that he hears me. This bill does not guarantee that the Ontario Health atHome workers will be unionized or full-time positions with real wages, real benefits and pensions. So my question to the Liberal—either one; it doesn’t matter who answers: Do you believe that people who work in home care should be unionized, should have full-time jobs, should be respected, should have pensions and belong to a union? If you want to improve wages, you need to join a union in this province.
