NDP Leader @AndreaHorwath: London Health Sciences announced they will be cutting the equivalent of 165 full-time positions due to budget challenges. Can the Health Minister explain how eliminating 165 front-line health workers will help eliminate hallway medicine? #onpoli

Horwath: London hospital CEO: “It's been very tough to operate in this environment. To operate a business where expenses are inflationary and revenue is flat…” Hospital funding falling behind inflation a cause of hallway medicine under Liberals—a recipe for hallway medicine now.

Horwath: The Ford govt cuts:
✂️Cuts to public health.
✂️Cuts to ambulance services.
✂️Cuts to cancer screening.
And now eliminating frontline hospitals health staff.
If this is healthcare after one year of Ford govt we don’t want to see what the next three years will bring.

NDP Transit critic @JessicaBellTO: The Minister directed #Metrolinx to cut five GO bus routes, and reduce service on two more. These cuts mean commuters in #Oakville, #Milton, #Bolton & #NorthYork will have to cram on to overcrowded GO buses, and face even longer travel times.

Bell: The estimates that came out last month show that the Ford govt slashed $184 million from Metrolinx’s budget. It is now clear that the Minister’s cuts to #Metrolinx’s budget means axing bus service that people rely on every day. #onpoli #ONtransit #gobus

NDP Labour critic @jamiewestndp: There's a pattern of accidents leading to deaths at Fiera Foods and its affiliates but the Labour ministry failed to investigate. Will the Minister commit to proactive workplace safety inspections of Feira Food affiliates? thestar.com/news/investiga…

West: Since the death of the 4th temp worker at a Fiera biz this govt has cut at least $16 million from programs meant to prevent workplace injuries & deaths. Will the Minister of Labour commit today to ordering proactive workplace safety inspections of all Feira Food affiliates?
