NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says it is completely unacceptable that high-flying healthcare consultants cashed in on some of the $1-billion squandered by the McGuinty government’s eHealth initiative while Christine Wines languished, waiting for back surgery that will improve her quality of life.

Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says Dalton McGuinty’s Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) will make life less affordable for Windsor families and do nothing to create jobs in the economically hard-hit city.

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath wants to ensure Ontarians are receiving good value for the $42-billion spent on health care each year.

Horwath is pressing Premier Dalton McGuinty to take further action in the wake of last week’s Auditor General’s report into the scandal at eHealth Ontario. The report found rampant favouritism in the awarding of contracts, a compromised tendering system and consultants hiring other consultants.

Ontario’s NDP Leader Andrea Horwath says the McGuinty government’s $4.2-million in funding cuts to First Nations child welfare agencies must be reversed.

Today at the Ontario Legislature, Horwath called on Premier Dalton McGuinty to place a moratorium on any further cuts. Ontario’s native leaders have expressed alarm say the cuts are creating a crisis in the ability of agencies to serve the influx of children in their care.

Le rapport publié aujourd’hui par le vérificateur général pour la création d’un système de dossiers de santé électronique est un acte d’accusation dévastateur à l’endroit d’un gouvernement devenu arrogant, qui a gaspillé un milliard de précieux dollars destinés à la santé, a affirmé la chef du NPD, Andrea Horwath.
