Of course, we’ve seen interest rates and inflation, and an economy that’s slowing down around the world. That’s why we acted early to help the people of Ontario. In fact, it was the summer of 2022 that this government took action by lowering the gas tax. It was this government that doubled the low-income individuals and families tax credit so people making up to $50,000 pay some of the lowest personal income taxes in the land. It was this government that introduced one integrated fare, so that transit riders are saving $1,600 on daily commutes.

This is a government that’s taking action. This is a government that has got the backs of the people, and this government will always have their backs.

Let’s talk about the investment in health care that this great Minister of Health has put forward, a vision for a health system in Ontario. Two years, a $10-billion increase, some 5% to 6% a year, and where does that money go? Another big investment in primary care so that 600,000 more patients can have health care in this province; on average, an increase of 4% to the hospitals so they can continue to lower wait times for surgeries and keep emergency departments open; almost three quarters of a billion dollars to hire more registered practical nurses, more registered nurses.

My God—even Doris Grinspun gave us an incredible quote in the press yesterday. The RNAO supports the work that this Minister of Health is doing.

Mr. Speaker, we are investing in health care. We are investing in the people of Ontario because you can’t have a healthy economy without healthy people.
