Today we start to see some form take shape around the shadows of ideas put forward 2 weeks ago in the #PEI throne speech. Honestly I thought from the start there were a lot of interesting mentions there, which may or may not turn into the policies / programs they suggest.
In health care, more details around the province's move to collaborative health care, perhaps where these 3 'medical neighbourhoods' will be located (where the patients on the registry are). Details around the seniors health strategy & new programs to facilitate aging in place...
We've learned since throne speech day the commitment to add 300 childcare spaces this year is just govt fulfilling its 2-year-old promise on pre-k, which, well I think there's a case to be made to go beyond that. Maybe we'll learn what govt means by a "fixed rate" for ECE centres
I think I need to be convinced that the province needs to create a new 'Agency for Workforce Development' to track labour market needs (aren't we already doing this?). And of course, all the commitments in the throne speech around clean tech...
Some interesting mentions in the speech around exploring "new therapeutic justice options" and "alternative approaches to punishment and rehabilitation." Also a promise of (another) evaluation of PEI's policing model to make sure it reflects people & their concerns.
Electric vehicle incentives, the carbon price & rebates (which it sounds like govt is still negotiating), transitioning off CRB, crop rotations, buffer zones... off I go to the lockup, catch ya later #peipoli
