ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l’opposition

Ms. Horwath moved,

Mme Horwath propose,

Whereas the Ford government’s retroactive cuts to provincial public health funding have raised concerns for municipalities across Ontario and came without consultation after municipalities had already approved their 2019 budgets; and

Whereas Public Health Units provide critical, life-saving services to the residents of Ontario every day; and

Whereas public health officials across Ontario have raised concerns that the Ford government cuts will not only impact their ability to run immunization, student nutrition programs and other vital services, but may also compromise their ability to deal with outbreaks of infectious diseases like measles, SARS and Ebola; and

Whereas the cuts to public health will have a disproportionately negative impact on Black, Indigenous, and other racialized groups whose experiences of systemic racism are known to produce adverse health outcomes, and will also hinder research into those challenges; and

Whereas the Northwestern Ontario Municipal Association membership passed a resolution calling on the province to maintain or enhance existing funding and continue with local public health units instead of the proposed consolidated regional structures; and

Whereas the Eastern Ontario Health Unit has noted that the Ford government cuts may also negatively impact the ability to respond to emergencies such as flooding and other natural disasters; and

Whereas Mayors from 28 Large Urban Ontario municipalities have called on the government to halt these changes and allow for proper discussion with municipalities and local residents;

Therefore the Legislative Assembly calls on the Ford government to reverse their cuts to provincial public health funding so that Ontarians have access to the important services they need.

Debate arose and after some time,

Il s’élève un débat et après quelque temps,

The question was then put.

La question a ensuite été mise aux voix.
