  • Re: Bill 60 

Thank you very much to the member from Nickel Belt for clearly outlining all the risks that are associated with Bill 60. Expanding for-profit health care will cost us more, and it will deliver less.

And we should be looking at other jurisdictions that have made the same mistake. In fact, the Saskatchewan Health Authority just bought back five Extendicare homes with gruesome track records during the pandemic. They paid $13.1 million for these homes, just to stop avoidable deaths.

My question for the member from Nickel Belt: What is at stake going down the line—both on a financial and economic impact but also on the health outcomes for Ontarians?
