I listened to the member opposite. I had the opportunity to sit on that side of the floor for one year after I was elected in 2017. I sat on the same side of the floor as that member opposite, and I remember for that year her speaking about the Liberal government and their cuts to health care. We remember that there were eight consecutive years under the Liberal reign of not a single increase to budgets, 0% across the board, for eight years in a row, and that member opposite still voted with the Liberals’ budget year after year after year when she had the opportunity to shut them down.
So my question is, why did you support the Liberals when they were going after health care?
I listened to the member’s comments, and I really want to thank the member opposite for her comments. When she talks about it not being a good idea to have accountability measures; when she talks about it not being a good idea to give tests to kids so that we can figure out what their skills are and where they might need more work on and how we could better help them—that she is so against that and that her party is so against that, I thank them for that. Because everybody else in the province of Ontario knows how important accountability is. Everyone else in the province of Ontario knows how important it is that we deliver the best possible education to our children.
My question for the member opposite is, do you not feel incredibly lucky and honoured that your policies are so far off that you just can’t possibly get the support of the people of this province to ever put our children in a position to have to endure those policies that are so detrimental to our children’s development?
