Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health.
The Ontario government is embarking on a new system of long term health care reform for seniors which will favour the not for profit home care providers, eliminating the commercial provider agencies. As well 20,000 health care workers are employed in Ontario by the private sector agencies.
What does the minister intend to do to ensure that the federal tax dollars transferred to the Ontario government are spent in a cost effective manner?
