NDP’s Deputy leader @john_vanthof: @OntarioCofC wrote to the Minister concerning the govt's proposal to rip up the contract with the Beer Store: “breaking a legitimate contract is a short-sighted approach.” Is the Ford govt now dismissing the entire Chamber as “beer insiders”?

Vanthof: Pres/CEO of @OntarioCofC (a former #PCPO candidate) has joined the chorus of concerned citizens telling the govt that the hundreds of millions of dollars they plan to spend on their Beer Store scheme would be better spent somewhere else. #onpoli

Vanthof: The Ford govt is alienating millions of Ontario families who want to see a govt focussed on better classrooms and ending hallway medicine.
We have a govt cutting those things while they tweet about blowing hundreds of millions breaking a contract with the Beer Store.

NDP Deputy leader @SaraSinghMPP: Yesterday, the Health Minister dismissed a Financial Accountability Office report detailing the Ford govt's healthcare cuts as “accounting differences.” Among FAO’s findings was that the govt Budget would reduce healthcare by $2.7 billion.

Singh: The FAO: “[We] cannot disclose the $2.7 billion reduction in planned spending from the 2018 budget plan to the 2019 budget plan by program area, as the Province has deemed this information to be a Cabinet record.” In other words: The Ford govt is hiding their cuts. #onpoli

Singh: Instead of standing up for patients, the Conservative Health Minister is tweeting photos of convenience stores and promoting Ford's billion dollar beer boondoggle.
Why is the Health Minister refusing to disclose the details of the $2.7 billion in healthcare cuts? #onpoli

NDP MPP @solmamakwa: National Inquiry into Missing & Murdered Women & Girls Commission made 231 Calls for Justice.
We thank the families for coming forward and telling their truth. How many of the 1200 recommendations from previous reports/commissions has Ontario implemented?
