"What that means is that for our immunization monitoring and surveillance program, for our sexual health services programs, for our food safety regulatory initiatives, to our water quality testing, we don't know how we are going to continue to run those programs this year," he said.John Tory sits down for an interview with the Globe and Mail in his city hall office, on Oct. 23 2018.

"It is impossible not to see this as a targeted attack on the health of our entire city and, in particular, the health of Toronto's most vulnerable people," he said."It is inconceivable why the Ontario government would want to single out Toronto, Ontario's capital and economic engine, for harsher treatment when we know a healthy city is a prosperous city."
