Mr. Speaker, yesterday Ontario Premier Mike Harris said that expanding home care is one of his priorities for the new federal health money.
But as members know, in Harris' Ontario corporate health care giants are taking over home care services. American corporations are already siphoning off profits that should go to our public medicare system.
Why will this government not take steps to guarantee that not one penny of the new dollars transferred to the provinces will go to line the pockets of private, for profit corporations?
