Orders of the Day

Ordre du Jour

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mrs. McLeod moved,

Mme McLeod propose,

That this House acknowledges the crisis in the community care system across Ontario that has been created by the current Government's mismanagement and rationing; and

That this House demands that the Government take immediate action to ease the crisis by:

(1)

Building long-term beds rather than simply re-announcing plans to build them in order to address the waiting list of 18,000;

(2)

Adequately funding community care so that there is not only support for those discharged from hospitals `quicker and sicker' because of government cuts to hospital beds but also funds to meet the needs of the frail and elderly; and

(3)

Legislating provincial standards for community care.

A debate arising, after some time, the motion was lost on the following division:-
