QUEEN’S PARK – With an election taking place in just under two months, the Ontario Liberal Team is closing in on its 100th nomination, including a full slate of health care experts from across Ontario.
“We are extremely fortunate to have such a talented team of health care leaders running for us, including Doctors, Nurses, and Hospital Administrators. Imagine for a moment how differently COVID-19 could have gone with strong health care leaders like our team of health care experts in government addressing issues like hospital staffing capacity,” said Ontario Liberal Party Leader Steven Del Duca.

“Doug Ford and his Conservatives just cannot be trusted when it comes to protecting public health care. It was one of the first things he cut when he came into office and at their core, they believe private ownership is almost always better than the public sector,” concluded Del Duca. “Liberals believe in public health care, and our team of health care candidates reflects that. An Ontario Liberal Government will build a strong health care system that we can all be proud of.”
