Yesterday 120 Ontario Health Coalition members entered Queen’s Park to meet with 70 MPPs a day after one of the most controversial provincial budgets in recent history. There are a total of 107 MPPs in the legislature.
With health care funding falling below that recommended by the Drummond Commission on Public Service Reform, one opposition MPP told his visitors, “there is a significant bump in the road coming.”
The lobbyists arrived at the MPPs offices to talk about jammed hospitals; thousands on wait lists for nursing home beds, and severely rationed home care. They also expressed their concerns about the prospects for increased privatization.
