A provincial election isn’t expected for another year and a half, but that’s not stopping the NDP from getting ready.
Leader Andrea Horwath released the first plank in its platform and its about long-term care.
Horwath says if they are elected, the NDP would get rid of private companies running long-term care homes.
“We’re gonna not renew some licenses as we go through the process, we are going to acquire some of those homes, we’re also going to be building more homes,” Horwath explains.
Horwath adds that NDP would also strengthen regulations in long-term care homes and do more inspections.
