Union leaders demanding public consultation on the omnibus health care bill

Union leaders representing more than 200,000 nurses, health professionals and care workers are demanding public consultation on the Ford government’s omnibus health care bill. “Bill 74 is the Ford government’s omnibus health care legislation in which the government has given itself and its appointees in its new ‘super agency’ wide-reaching new powers to force unprecedented health care restructuring without any public consultation, including mergers, closures and privatization of hospitals, long-term care, home care, diagnostic services, clinics, community care, mental health and addictions services, community health centres, and others.”
