Bill 175, the Home/Community Care Law that is being pushed by the Ford Government, is receiving push back from the Ontario Health Coalition.
There is much concern in the care levels given the number of cases and deaths from COVID-19.
Shirley Robuck is the Chair for Wallaceburg/Walpole Island, and Co-Chair for Chatham-Kent.
“ The government has the ability to suspend licenses, and take over the running of long term care homes. They have done it just once and we know from listening to the military report and families that there are far more homes out there that are not providing adequate care”.
The group has province wide protests set for Wednesday, with a large protest rally at Queens Park. Locally the group will meet outside local Tory MPP Rick Nicholl’s Chatham office at 111 Heritage Rd at noon.
They are asking everyone to please wear a mask, and social distancing protocols will be in place.
