When we took government, we inherited a health care system that was badly neglected by the previous Liberal government, which was consistently supported by the NDP. Because of their chronic mismanagement, scandal and a once-in a-lifetime pandemic, our government needed to take immediate action to bolster all aspects of our front-line health care system.

In my riding, people are hearing reports about concerns regarding the health human resources needs and staffing for hospitals and emergency rooms.

Speaker, can the Minister of Colleges and Universities please elaborate more on what the government is doing to continue to educate more health care workers to help combat the shortage of nurses and doctors that we face here in the province?

I’m curious as to what is being done by our government to support medical education in order to support our future doctors and address the doctor shortage.

Can the minister please inform the House of what she is doing to support medical students, to ensure a more resilient health care system here in the province of Ontario?
