Ontario NDP Leader Andrea Horwath\u00a0revealed new\u00a0documents on Monday she says show the province\u00a0had already signed off on leaked health-care legislation the Progressive Conservatives\u00a0dismissed as “just a draft” last week.<\/p>\n
Hours later, Health Minister Christine Elliott battled back with her own news conference accusing the NDP of “fear-mongering.”\u00a0Elliott\u00a0also said the documents were non-partisan public service documents that she had never seen.<\/p>\n
But the NDP says the “internal government documents” released on Monday\u00a0appear to be government presentations, and include references to cabinet approving the plan and appointing board members.<\/p>\n
“It’s a done deal,”\u00a0Horwath\u00a0said. “But the entire Ford government has been hiding this plan from the public. Why? Because people won’t like it.”<\/p>\n
The documents follow last week’s draft legislation, also leaked by the NDP,\u00a0showing the Doug Ford government wants to create a “super agency.”<\/p>\n
The NDP accused the\u00a0government of trying to create a two-tier\u00a0private health system in Ontario, but Elliott denied that allegation\u00a0last week, maintaining\u00a0the government is committed to strengthening the province’s health system.<\/p>\n
CBC Toronto has learned that the public servant behind the “unauthorized disclosure of confidential government documents” has been fired. The OPP has been notified of the breach, said Steven Davidson, the head of the Ontario Public Service.<\/p>\n
