Home care contracts should not be a way to reward friends of any government with lucrative contracts. Ontarians deserve so much better.

​

Older and disabled Ontarians should be able to expect that their government will deliver a home-care system that is non-profit, where competitive bidding is a thing of the past, where a solid track record matters, and where profits go into direct care, rather than the pockets of wealthy corporations, Patricia Spindel writes.
