Thank you to everyone who signed petitions, reached out to our office and advocated for the Ford Government to resume negotiations with optometrists.
Hopefully, this Government will finally take these talks seriously and stop playing games with essential eye care services.
A positive development after months of stalling from the @fordnation govt.
As of tomorrow, seniors, children & those with certain underlying health conditions will once again be eligible for OHIP covered eye exams.
The govt must work w/@ONOptometrists & negotiate a fair deal.
GREAT NEWS today for patients left without eye care! @ONOptometrists are trusting the gov's promise that a FAIR deal is waitin to end their job action.
I'll say it again. @fordnation & @celliottability make it a table worth being at! We CAN'T end up here again.
#SaveEyeCare
@VictorFedeli @normmillerpc I'd also like to remind everyone that under the @OntarioPCParty all seniors and children lost acces to eye care! Stop pointing the finger and do you job rather being @fordnation and @celliottability puppet. Sign in those petitions and start meeting your constituents! #saveeyecare
@LizScanlon@sue_beaton@GilaMartow@UWaterloo My kid needs a new prescription too. Also hoping this is resolved before I have to take him across the border for an eye test. Grateful to everyone who is helping bring a resolution closer to #SaveEyeCare
