Gélinas says many 'card-carrying Conservatives' oppose LTC plan

Nickel Belt MPP France Gélinas said she is fighting hard to stop the Ontario Government from moving forward with a new health care bill, Bill 7, and she believes a lot of "card-carrying Conservatives'' now agree with her.

"But this bill takes away consent. First, it used to be that once you finished your active treatment in a hospital, a physician had to assess you to see if you meet the criteria to be transferred into a long-term-care home," she said. She said this is not what most elderly and chronic patients want. Gélinas said the government is determined to push the changes through because of the fear that a new wave of the COVID-19 pandemic will hit Ontario this fall.

"So the demand for change is coming from a demographic that has a lot of influence on the Conservatives," Gélinas said.
