This morning, I called on @SylviaJonesMPP to explain why the gov believes it is fiscally responsible to spend ~3x more to hire nurses thru agencies - giving those agencies a healthy profit - instead of repealing Bill 124 & directing that $ straight to healthcare workers. #onpoli

All across Ont, hospital funding to priv nursing agencies has increased significantly, giving profits to agencies instead of higher wages in the hands of nurses. The responsible thing to do, fiscally & morally, is to repeal #Bill124 & give that $ straight to healthcare workers.

ERs closed; 2.3 million people without a family doctor; teachers, staff & students dealing w. mental health crises & insufficient # of workers in schools. Never has a government spent so much to deliver so little (unless you’re a @fordnation insider friend). #onpoli #GravyTrain

The people of Ontario want a healthy #OnHealth system. This gov needs to take responsibility for their Bill 124 mistake and invest some of the unspent billions back into our healthcare system. Investing in healthcare = a growing economy. #ONpoli

I asked the Conservative gov why their priority is expansion of (for-profit) clinics instead of taking accountability for their Bill 124 mistake & investing some of the $ billions they have parked in contingency funds to fix the staffing mess they created. #onhealth #onpoli

I'm disappointed that @BonnieforLeader ’s commitment to @OntLiberal was questioned today because of her age. A woman’s age has no bearing on her ability to contribute, lead & deliver. Just ask @LisaLaFlamme_ & the countless other women rising up to fight ageism. #onpoli 1/2

Which #Fordfriends benefit when this Conservative gov hires agencies to provide temporary nurses at 3X the cost that we would pay public nurses? We need to follow the $ to find out. Thx @ShamjiAdil for continuing to speak in support of our public health system. #onhealth #onpoli

Due to this government’s reckless—and frankly scandalous—mismanagement, our universal public healthcare system is in danger. @fordnation and @SylviaJonesMPP have turned a blind eye to the predatory practices of temporary staffing agencies in healthcare for too long. That is

This gov’t appears unwilling to spend money its already committed to spending on programs and services for Ontarians. They say it’s for “unforeseen risks”—well those risks are here. This defecit narrative is harmful & the gov’t should be telling the real story: a surplus. #onpoli

"Insiders say it was Ford who personally ensured the chief of staff to Municipal Affairs and Housing Minister Steve Clark was not fired." If the Premier is supporting Amato, it seems fair to assume the Premier supports the backroom deals. Time for Clark to go. #onpoli

Hard to hear the Minister of Finance’s defence of what the AG called — and the public knows is — an indefensible process of backroom deals with a few select developers. If he wants to be transparent, he & his gov. must be transparent about this $8.3B Greenbelt deal. #onpoli

I am disappointed that this Conservative gov decided to vote against #Bill50 re: #diversity on corp boards. This bill comes from a recommendation of this gov’s own task force, yet they haven’t moved on it. I’ll be watching to ensure they set a timeline to get this done. #onpoli

Even if the #GreenbeltScandal was about housing ($8.3 billion in profit kinda suggests it isn’t), the ends does not justify the means. This is why we have rules around planning, lobbyists, MPPs, Ministers & their staff. Time for Mr. Clark to resign. #onpoli

Doug Ford's Housing Minister opened up protected Greenbelt land and now their closest developer friends could make $8.3 billion. The Conservative gov says they did it for housing—housing that won't be built for ten years, per the Auditor General. #onpoli
