The Ford government’s pre-budget consultation committee comes to northwestern Ontario this week.
The provincial committee was in Sioux Lookout Monday and Thunder Bay today (January 21).
A number of groups are set to present their ideas.
Thunder Bay district’s Medical Officer of Health Dr. Janet DeMille will address the committee Tuesday to explain the need for proper funding for public health.
“The government is proposing some significant changes to public health and those are already being implemented in terms of the financial side and that has real implications to what we can do and how we can address public health pressures,” says DeMille.
For those organizations or residents who aren’t taking part in the in-person session, you can send in a written submission by 6 pm on Friday.
