ORDERS OF THE DAY

ORDRE DU JOUR

Opposition Day

Jour de l'opposition

Mrs. Witmer moved,

Mme Witmer propose,

That the Legislative Assembly call upon the government,

To recognize that as of April 1, 2004, nursing homes in Ontario were to have received their annual "case mix increase" adjustment of 1.4% in their base funding allocations to cover increased labour costs and to keep up with the increasing needs of residents,

To recognize that the McGuinty government is clawing back property tax reimbursements to specific Long-Term Care facilities, thereby placing additional funding pressures on our nursing homes,

To recognize that the system has been expanded by 20,000 beds and the last of those beds are now being opened, and that new money is needed to fund these beds,

And to recognize that Premier McGuinty made a specific campaign promise to, "invest in better nursing home care, providing an additional $6,000 in care for every resident",

That Premier McGuinty live up to his campaign promises and immediately increase long-term care funding and stop the clawback of property tax reimbursements.
