La Corporation de la The Corporation of the Ville de Hearst Town of Hearst lhomiK ry 1 September 1 7, 2020 SEP 2 8 2020 The Honourable Christine Elliott Minister of Health 5th Floor 777 Bay Street Toronto, ON M7A 2J3 RE: Public Health Restructuring Honourable Minister, Municipalities were advised of the plans for the Ministry of Health (MOH) to restructure public health with the amalgamation of public health units throughout the province. The latest update predicted that the Porcupine Health Unit would possibly be merged with the Nipissing Health Unit. When the discussions of amalgamations began, we were advised that the MOH would be consulting health units and municipalities before making decisions on any changes. However, to this date, we did not hear of any scheduled consultations. Over the past two decades, Northern Ontario municipalities have seen various services amalgamated, with differing results. With so many small communities spread over such a vast territory, regional boards often fail to adapt to every community' s needs. Although northern municipalities share some characteristics (low populations, economically driven by the forest industry, aging population, youth-out migration, etc.), they are also very different on other fronts: language, socially assisted populations, drug use, relations and interactions with First Nations, etc. Larger boards with one-size-fits- all approaches are not the best solutions for Northern Ontario and we know by experience that amalgamating services does not achieve the financial and efficiency objectives that are originally driving these initiatives. For these reasons, the Town of Hearst Municipal Council has serious concerns with the idea of enlarging the district of the Porcupine Health Unit. Council recognizes that the matter was put on hold as a result of the COVID- 19 pandemic, but we emphasize our wish to be heard once the amalgamation matter is brought back to the table; municipalities expect to be informed and get a chance to comment on the proposed changes before any final decision is taken by the Ministry. nt; utit) • I' OI.

Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report November 23, 2018 Quotation of the day “This is a callous way to deliver a cut on the backs of the most vulnerable people in Ontario.” NDP social services critic Lisa Gretzky slams the PC’s social assistance revamp. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House is adjourned until Monday at 10:30 a.m. for question period. There are three more sitting weeks before MPPs break for the holiday recess. Thursday’s debates and proceedings In the morning MPPs kicked off third reading debate on Bill 32, Access to Natural Gas Act. A Liberal bill was defeated while a PC backbencher bill and motion were passed during the afternoon’s private members’ business debate. ● Liberal MPP Nathalie Des Rosiers’ Bill 49, Charter Rights Transparency Act, died on a recorded vote (Ayes 19; Nays 54) after second reading. ● PC MPP Mike Harris’ Bill 50, Cutting Red Tape for Motor Vehicle Dealers Act, was sent to the Standing Committee on the Legislative Assembly after passing second reading. The bill would allow certain car dealers to apply online for permits, number plates, sticker validations and used-vehicle information. ● PC MPP Kinga Surma’s motion calling on the Toronto Catholic District School Board to “find mechanisms so [it] can permanently support the study of international languages” in primary schools passed. Second reading debate on Bill 57, Restoring Trust, Transparency and Accountability Act, continued later in the afternoon. In the park It’s beginning to look a little like the holidays at the legislature — a 12-foot evergreen tree was installed on the grand staircase Thursday.

Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report September 3, 2019 Quotation of the day “We’re very happy with our current drummer, Lisa.” Billy Talent throws shade at Culture Minister Lisa MacLeod after she posted a friendly photo of their recent meeting, which the band said was a mischaracterization, and criticizes the Ford government’s cuts to the arts. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The House is adjourned until Monday, October 28. Premier watch Premier Doug Ford dropped by a community barbecue hosted by PC MPP Amarjot Sandhu on Saturday where he was photographed with Brampton Mayor and ex-PC leader Patrick Brown. Anti-carbon-tax gas-pump sticker law comes into force The law requiring Ontario’s gas stations to plaster anti-federal-carbon-tax stickers on their pumps — or face hefty financial penalties — kicked in on Friday. The stickers have been roundly criticized as being misleading, too partisan in the run-up to a federal election, and a breach of Charter rights by a range of groups, including environmental advocates, the PC-friendly Ontario Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, which is launching a lawsuit against the Ford government’s sticker law as early as this week. But Energy Minister Greg Rickford’s office says the fines (which start at $500 a day for first-time individual offenders and go up to $10,000 a day for repeat corporate scofflaws) won’t be levied right away. “For the first few months, inspectors are focusing on education and helping gasoline retailers come into compliance,” his spokesperson Sydney Stonier said in a statement.

“I'm In. Stay Tuned.”
Queen’s Park Today – Daily Report January 16, 2020 Quotation of the day “I’m in. Stay tuned.” Peter MacKay teases his campaign for federal Conservative leader, which reportedly features connections to Doug Ford’s political circle. Today at Queen’s Park On the schedule The house is in winter recess until February 18, 2020. Cabinet is slated to meet this afternoon at 12:30 p.m. Premier watch Premier Doug Ford hosted Odor Balint, Hungary’s ambassador to Canada, and Valér Palkovits, Hungary’s consul-general in Toronto, at the Pink Palace on Wednesday, according to social media. The group discussed trade and economic development between both jurisdictions. Over in the Lieutenant Governor’s suite, her Honour Elizabeth Dowdeswell sat down with Sinem Mingan, Turkey’s consul-general in Toronto. Strikes ramp up in elementary and high schools, Lecce offers to reimburse impacted families Education Minister Stephen Lecce is offering up to $60 per day for parents to help cover child care costs if they’re impacted by next Monday’s planned one-day walkout by elementary teachers. On Wednesday the Elementary Teachers’ Federation of Ontario gave the required five-day notice of a one-day strike targeting Toronto — the country’s largest school board — York region and Ottawa, “unless government representatives get serious about reaching a deal by this Friday.” Lecce responded by offering cash back for families who may be scrambling to make alternative arrangements if their children’s school or school-based child care is closed because of strike action. Up to $60 per day will be up for grabs for children up to six-years-old, $40 per day for kids in kindergarten and $25 a day for students in Grades 1 through 7.

Research and Analysis Election Ontario 2018
Research and Analysis Election Ontario 2018 Prepared by Marc Kealey Kealey and Associates Inc. Toronto Canada April 18, 2018 Second Edition May 29, 2018 FINAL SUMMARY – JUNE 17, 2018 Our Final Research, Final Analysis and Summary Perspective The results of the general election of June 7, 2018 seemingly didn’t surprise political observers or voters in Ontario. It was scribed and understood well that voters wanted to see the Wynne government gone – and they’re gone -big time! What surprised political pundits, media and voters for that matter was the actions of Premier Kathleen Wynne prior to Election Day and K&A unwittingly got involved in the Liberal Party’s activities specifically the author of this report. As we all know now, on the Saturday, six days before Election Day, like many who follow politics -my phone lit up with well over two hundred calls, emails and texts from colleagues and friends across the province wanting my take on Liberal Party Leader and Premier Kathleen Wynne’s strange announcement that she would concede the election – a full 6 days before election day. Normally I would have stayed out of this, chalking it up to how her campaign was going anyway- terribly- save and except for the fact that so many people contacted me for reaction and because I was upset, I obliged. Not because I care about the Liberal Party or its leader, but because of the sheer contempt her actions demonstrated to voters, volunteers and media. I grew up in politics and my inspiration is former Prime Minister John N.
