THUNDER BAY – As provincial representatives return to the legislature at Queen's Park, calls to strengthen Ontario's health care system are getting louder.
Douglas served as the Premier of Saskatchewan between 1944 and 1961, and his CCF government introduced the first publicly-funded medical insurance system in Canada in 1961. In August the province’s independent Financial Accountability Office stated that the PC’s spent $1.7 billion less than planned on health care in 2022-23.
The vice-president for Region 7 of OPSEU, Ed Arvelin, believes funding is going towards private clinics. That campaign mobilized against Bill 60, which allowed more private clinics to offer publicly-funded procedures like cataract surgeries and hip and knee replacements, a move the government said would help reduce long wait lists at public hospitals.
“While sitting in the legislature this afternoon, I could hear the thousands of protesters gathered outside,” said Thunder Bay-Superior North MPP Lise Vaugeois in a statement provided to TBNewswatch.
