ICYMI: Green MLA Matt MacFarlane told the @peileg he was foregoing one of his questions during question period to give the health minister @markmclanepei the opportunity to apologize for the broken campaign promise — but no apology came. #peipoli https://t.co/ec9HnJF1Jo
PEI needed 10K new housing units over the 5 years of this program: it delivered 69. “The government has consistently overstated their commitment to addressing our housing crisis here, & they have consistently underperformed when it comes to actually getting stuff done.” #peipoli

The delay in the report's release shows a growing lack of fiscal responsibility and transparency from @dennyking gov.
“It's deeply concerning that we're seeing unprecedented spending, but Islanders aren't feeling the benefits.” - @peterbevanbaker#peipoli https://t.co/gGQCOgXQ9M
The millions of dollars (anywhere from $7.5-$8.4M!) going to the NHL belongs to Islanders and Islanders have a right to know where their $ is going. Enough with the wasteful spending and secrecy, @dennyking Islanders are fed up. @peipoli
The @dennyking government's long overdue 2024-2025 Fall Fiscal and Economic Update outlines record spending on healthcare and social initiatives, yet fails to translate into tangible improvements for Islanders. Read more 👇#peipoli https://t.co/6wML25g3tx
Government has to make sure that services and programs to help seniors stay in their homes are easily accessible…because right now…they are not! #peipoli

Yesterday’s news from @Health_PEI on the overcapacity of our healthcare system, as well as the release of the long overdue 2023-2024 Health PEI Annual Report, paints a grim picture of our healthcare system under the King government. Read more 👇#peipoli https://t.co/1UdhBnz158
The new limit on access to internal medicine at the QEH will be devastating for Islanders who have already been struggling to get care.

"It's one thing to say we offer the service here in PEI, but it's quite another to say that you're gonna have to wait 2 years to get it. And in the meantime, you're going to be completely incapacitated.” - MLA Matt MacFarlane #peipoli
While Health P.E.I. says improvements are coming in the new year, the latest batch of statistics from the health authority shows that wait times for MRI scans rose to the highest levels on record in 2024. #PEI#peipoli
