MPPs to consider new legislation on promised health reforms, including the expansion of cataract surgeries, and hip and knee replacements performed in private clinics
It’s expected that Premier Doug Ford’s relationship with developers and the expansion of private health-care delivery will dominate the return.
The first order of business will likely be new legislation containing promised health reforms, including the expansion of cataract surgeries performed in private clinics and hip and knee replacements done by private organizations. Last week, Ford said his government had consulted with people in the health sector again and again, adding – quote – “they believe it’s a great plan.”Meanwhile, newly minted NDP Leader Marit Stiles is working on a new complaint to the integrity commissioner about Ford, the removal of protected Greenbelt lands for housing and his interactions with developers.
Some media reports have cited sources as saying lobbying and government relations firms were asked to buy tickets to Ford’s daughter’s wedding last summer.
