1. There are now five planned private for-profit (P3) hospitals in Ontario. Worldwide evidence shows that these private hospitals cost more and lead to bed, staffing and service cuts. They also transfer control over billions of dollars of public assets to private companies. What will you do to stop the private hospitals - including the one in Brampton if the deal is signed before the election? What will you do to ensure new hospitals and hospital redevelopments have adequate public funding?

2. Tens of thousands of frail elderly seniors have had their home support services cut in the last several provincial budgets. Studies show that these services are important to prevent illness and injury - and actually reduce admissions to emergency rooms. What will you do to restore home support services to seniors, those with disabilities and those with chronic illnesses?

3. Privatization of homecare has been a disaster. Companies are making money by cutting the benefits, mileage and remuneration of homecare workers. Staffing shortages, high turnover and reduced services are the result of introducing private for-profit companies into homecare. What will you do to restore public, non-profit homecare services in Ontario?

4. The corporate lobbyists for nursing homes have succeeded in reducing resident and staff protections. Minimum staffing levels are gone. Government studies show that Ontarians in long term care facilities are among the most acutely ill in the country and yet have the lowest hours of care. Staff accidents and injuries are on the rise. Families have to pay private caregivers or provide care themselves, if they are able. What will you do to improve the shameful conditions in Ontario's long term care facilities?

5. Last summer, the Provincial Conservatives increased fees for seniors in long term care facilities. The money has gone to all sorts of things, most of it untraceable, despite promises that improved staffing and care levels would result. Will you commit to rolling back the increased user fees for seniors in long term care facilities and replace the funding with public funding? How will you ensure that facilities' operations are transparent and that they are made accountable for improving staffing and care levels?
