PETITIONS:

LONG-TERM CARE

Mr. Ernie Hardeman (Oxford): I have a petition signed by hundreds of my constituents. It's to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario.

"Whereas concerned residents and community members in southwestern Ontario are aware the federal funds that are being allocated towards meals in our prisons are substantially more than the provincial funds that are being allocated towards the cost of meals in our long-term care facilities in the province of Ontario;

"We, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:

"Recommend that more funds be allocated towards the cost of meals for our citizens living in long-term care facilities in the province of Ontario."

I affix my signature. I believe they deserve nothing less.
