Overwhelmingly, I have heard about the dire state of our healthcare system. In Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, one out of three residents doesn&#8217;t have a family doctor or is at imminent risk of losing their family doctor.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">The Ontario Liberal plan will create two new medical schools and expand capacities in existing medical schools, doubling the number of medical school spots and residency positions. It will deliver team-based care with evening and weekend support, integrated home care for seniors, and accessible mental health services for children, youth, and teenagers. It will accelerate the process to integrate at least 1,200 qualified and experienced internationally trained doctors over four years. It will eliminate fax machines, enhance virtual care, introduce centralized referral systems with patient portals, and implement interoperable electronic medical records to let doctors and other healthcare professionals in the circle of care focus on patients instead of paperwork. It will incentivize family doctors to serve in rural communities just like ours.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">Doug Ford\u2019s priorities are twisted. While we struggle to afford a home or just try to make ends meet, his government is spending less on healthcare per capita than any other province and billions on tunnel projects in Toronto. We are focused on getting the basics right. That means cutting the small business tax rate in half, cutting middle-class income taxes, doubling ODSP, removing the land transfer tax for first-time home buyers and seniors downsizing, and establishing a Franco-Ontarian health strategy. I\u2019d be the loud voice that our region needs at Queen\u2019s Park. As a rural region, we can\u2019t afford to be quiet. It\u2019s time to start taking our seat at the table and start getting our fair share.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Q: For a long time, people in rural areas have felt ignored.

In over seven years as premier, Doug Ford has never been to our region, not once. Our leader, Bonnie Crombie, in just over one year, has been to Hammond, Embrun, St-Isidore, and Rockland to hear our concerns as rural people. Part of delivering for people is meeting them where they are, and I\u2019ll always make sure to put us as a priority. We\u2019ll do that by creating a Rural Health Strategy and incentivizing family doctors to serve in places just like our home, and I\u2019ll defend our local generational farmland. We need new housing, that\u2019s no secret, but it can\u2019t keep coming at the expense of prime agricultural land. The farmers in our region depend on their land for their livelihoods and to feed families across this province, but Doug Ford\u2019s government has been all too happy to sacrifice it.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Q: With the chance of a trade war with the U.S., is your party best equipped to stand up for Ontarians? How so, and what is your plan?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A: Our region saw the impact of the tariffs on steel imports in 2019. We need a strong voice that will stand up to Trump, not someone who praises him behind closed doors and backs down when push comes to shove. Ontario&#8217;s Liberals released our eight-part plan to fight Trump\u2019s tariffs, which includes backstopping Ontario businesses with a new Fight Tariffs Fund that gives them access to lower-than-market interest rates at government rates. This will allow our businesses to protect and create jobs by reducing the cost of borrowing money to operate or invest in their businesses and workers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">We want to ensure stimulus spending on infrastructure is focused on the projects communities in Ontario need the most\u2014hospitals, schools, roads, and transit. We will lead an across-government effort to ensure we spend taxpayers\u2019 money wisely, including directing departments and agencies to exclude American companies like Elon Musk\u2019s Starlink from procurement opportunities and investing the savings back into supporting this stimulus plan. We will work with other provinces to eliminate nonsensical interprovincial trade barriers and build a truly Team Canada approach to growing our economy. We will offer a bonus to patriotic nurses and doctors who want to come back home to Canada from the U.S. and help solve Doug Ford\u2019s healthcare crisis and get you a family doctor. We will remove the hidden tax on home building to save real people up to $170,000 on the cost of a new home and make rent more affordable by introducing phased-in rent control. We will save people in Ontario up to $1,150 a year immediately through our More For You Tax Cut, keeping more money in your pocket and taking the HST off your home heating and hydro bills. We will cut the small business tax rate in half from 3.2 percent to 1.6 percent and increase the eligible income threshold, saving small business owners as much as $18,000 a year. We\u2019re going to stand behind every worker, every farmer, and every family in this province until this crisis is over and these unjust tariffs are withdrawn. The fight against Trump is one that goes beyond party affiliation. When fighting against these tariffs, we must stand united, united on Team Canada.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Q: The riding is predominantly Francophone.

As soon as he came to power in 2018, he immediately cut government services in French and reduced funding for French-language education. I was involved in organizing large-scale demonstrations against the Ford government&#8217;s cuts to the Francophone community in December 2018. I\u2019m so proud of our little corner of Eastern Ontario and the language that makes it so rich. We need to be bold in defending and supporting our Francophonie. To ensure that our language and culture are promoted for generations to come, we will develop a Franco-Ontarian health strategy to recruit more doctors, nurses, and healthcare professionals. We will develop a Franco-Ontarian health strategy to recruit more French-speaking doctors, nurses, and health professionals, as well as increase the number of international students in health-related fields. We will increase the number of international students in health and social services to ensure that Francophones in our region and our seniors can receive health services in their language. We will re-establish the independent French Language Services Commission that Doug Ford cut in 2018. We will develop an action plan to increase the number of French-language daycare spaces. We will work closely with school boards to add funding that will allow them to strengthen their programs and recruit teachers to ensure the vitality of our language, and in consultation with the community, expand access to post-secondary education in French.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Q: How does your party plan on addressing the housing shortage?

It\u2019s about time we get a government and an MPP that treats the housing crisis for what it really is\u2014a crisis. If elected, our plan will slash taxes on new homes, improve renter rights, and save you money. We will eliminate the provincial Land Transfer Tax for first-time homebuyers, seniors downsizing, and non-profit home builders\u2014saving families and seniors $13,500 on average. We will scrap development charges on new middle-class housing, which can add up to $170,000 on homes. We will make renting more affordable by introducing fair, phased-in rent control, resolving Landlord-Tenant Board disputes within two months, and establishing the Rental Emergency Support for Tenants Fund to help vulnerable renters avoid eviction during financial emergencies.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">I have heard from residents across our region that the increase in the cost of living has made it harder to make ends meet. Here\u2019s how we\u2019d make life more affordable. We will lower the personal income tax rate for middle-class Ontario families by reducing the tax rate on taxable income between $51,446 and $75,000 by 22 percent, resulting in a tax savings of about $1,150 annually. We will eliminate the provincial component of HST on hydro and home heating bills, saving approximately $200 annually for the average household\u2014an 8 percent monthly discount on energy bills. We will double Ontario Disability Support Program (ODSP) benefits and index them to inflation. The current rate, set at a maximum of $1,368, has remained nearly stagnant under Doug Ford. Doug Ford has forced people with disabilities to live in poverty while giving billions of dollars away to his rich friends.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"none\">Q: Why should Ontarians vote for you?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:2,&quot;335551550&quot;:6,&quot;335551620&quot;:6,&quot;335559731&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">A: I was born and raised here in Glengarry-Prescott-Russell, I\u2019ve lived here my whole life, and I\u2019ve fought for the people of Hammond and Cheney as their city councillor.
