- • The petition "Health Care: Not for Sale" asks the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to immediately stop all plans to privatize Ontario's health care system and to fix the crisis in health care by repealing Bill 124, licensing tens of thousands of internationally educated nurses and other health care professionals, and incentivizing health care professionals to choose to live and work in northern Ontario.
• The petition "To Raise Social Assistance Rates" asks the Legislative Assembly of Ontario to increase social assistance rates to a base of $2,000 per month for those on Ontario Works and to increase other programs accordingly, as the current rates are well below Canada's official Market Basket Measure poverty line and woefully inadequate to cover the basic costs of food and rent.
