NIAGARA FALLS – MPP Wayne Gates, Ontario NDP Official Opposition critic for Long-Term Care (LTC), issued the following statement on the charter challenge to the Ford government’s controversial legislation, Bill 7:
“This government has a history of taking action that violates our Charter, like the unconstitutional Bill 124, which created a staffing crisis in health care, and has cost this province billions of dollars. I’m calling on the Premier and the Minister to repeal Bill 7 immediately, and to start treating our seniors with the respect and dignity they deserve.
“This is wrong. This is an attack on the dignity of seniors, the very people who built this province. These are our mothers and fathers who are being treated with complete disrespect by the Premier and the Long-term Care Minister, the fifth one in almost as many years.”
