The Minlist@r of Health, the Hon. Jim W~ilson was in Durhamon Monday, May l2th. The Milster participat- ed in the oper-ing of the MRI unit at Qsliawa General Hospital whlch will allow 4,000 patients to receive this service loca!Iy. AISO, the Minlister announced $8.1 mil- lion dollars for comniunity based long terni care. First, $1.8 million wfll provide five organizations vlth ftmding for additional serv'ices like meals- on-wheels, adult day pro- grams, rehabilitation services and attendant outreach ser- vices. A reinvestnient of $6.3 million will assist patients recoverlng at- home and seniors wiIl receive home caxe visits froni hornemakers, theraplsts and nurses. Putting the patient first with services close to home is the plan as we. restructure an integrated health care sys- teni. The recently announced proposai agreement between the OMA (doctors) and the Ministry of Health, will stabi- lize the services doctorspro- vide to their patients. Your government recognizes that our population is growing and people are living longer. Doctors argued earîier this year for fair funding and an increased OHIP pooî as wel as increased funding of the niaipractice insurance fund- ing. I believe that our Minister has responded to the demands to ensure that we have the heaith services peo- ple demand. We cannot have a doctors' strike while at the sanie tme, we cannot put patients heaith at risk, Tourisni is one of Ontario's, as well as Durham's most vital and dynamic, industries. Tourism is typicaiiy smaii business and provides some 400,000' jobs, for people inciuding many students. June 9th to June i 5th is Tourism Awareness Week with the theme, "the Global Industry in our back yards". I might add that i ami working on the cuitent new provincial high- causing somre of my con- stituents a probieni. We are biessed in Durham with many famous attractions. These businesses attract vis- itors who spend nioney in our local hospltality sector and we ail benefit. Each one of us should consider ourselves an ambassador when reconi- miending where friends or family should go during suni- nier excursions. Canada celebrates a dou- ble birthday on Victoria Day. First, Canada honours Queen Victoria, the founding Sovereigni of the Dominion of Canada in 1867. Second, Victoria Day marks. the Official Birthday of the reign- ing sovereign, Queen Elizabeth the Second, the Queen of Canada. Our Canadian traditi ons are unique to niany new Canadians but ailows us to celebrate our long history. 0f course, there wili always be arguments about the role of the monarchy in Canada. The Queen is the non-politicai head of state who enibodies the laws, traditions and cere- nionial duties of our country. Americans pîedge allegiance to their flag and we to our Queen. Perhaps as we listen to the federal debates over Canadian unity, we shouid reflect -on the history of our Canadian federation and real- ize that we are not a repubîic like the United States. For many of us this is just the first long weekend of the sum- mer. 1 hope you had a safe and warm long weekend. Keep the faith, Wnnipeg has had a worse lime than we have had. Perhaps summer will arrive next week. RECY CLE H aving ail-star tryouts for hockey, bal, soccer, etc., registration? Holding a tournament or- a special sporting event or competi- tion?
