Seniors in Ontario should be able to retire in dignity.
The people who built this province deserve minimum standards of care when they are living in long-term care homes.
They deserve support staff who aren't stretched to the limit trying to meet residents' needs.
But the McGuinty Liberals have broken their promises to Ontario's seniors. They have failed to increase overall per-resident funding by a promised $6,000, they broke their promise to bring in minimum standards of care, there is no promised Ombudsman to make long term care more fair and transparent, and the McGuinty Liberals have failed to meet their promised goal of hiring 2,000 new lang term care workers.
Add your voice to our petition calling for Dignity for Ontario's Seniors.

Petition to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:

Whereas in Ontario there is no minimum standard of daily nursing and personal care for seniors living in long-term care homes;

Whereas Ontario seniors in long-term care are given only $5.57 per day for meals;

Whereas personal support workers, the frontline staff in long-term care homes, are stretched to the limit trying to meet residents' basic needs;

Whereas the McGuinty Liberals have broken their promises to increase overall per-resident funding by $6,000, to bring in a minimum standard of care for seniors, to hire an Ombudsman to make long term care fairer and more transparent, and to hire 2,000 new long term care workers, including 600 nurses;

And whereas Dalton McGuinty rewarded himself with a $40,000 pay raise;

I Petition the Ontario Government to immediately fulfill the McGuinty Liberal promises for seniors.

Please add my name to the petition.
