Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mrs. McLeod moved,

M^me McLeod propose,

That this House recognizes that:

· The government of Ontario is perpetuating a policy of discrimination against residents of Northern Ontario who have to travel to receive cancer care;

· The government of Ontario has established a standard of ensuring that 100% of costs of travel for cancer patients referred from Southern Ontario are covered;

· The Canada Health Act and the Constitution of Canada require that any health program that is offered must be extended equally to everyone; and

That this House resolves that 100% of the costs of travel to receive cancer care must be covered, regardless of whether the cancer patient resides in Northern or Southern Ontario.
