The world of education is being being changed as a result of new technology and changing labour labour force needs. The youth and indeed all Ontarians must have the knowledge and skills to compete for jobs and a future. future. Our post secondary institutions institutions must respond with new and innovative ways to meet these global challenges. Health Care and our struggle struggle with doctors is constantly in the news. I hear from both doctors and people generally on their fear that the future of health care will be a constant worry. I, like you, depend on effective, reliable and affordable affordable health care. Our government government has made a commitment to health care. There have been no cuts, in fact, we are spending spending more money on health care. The problem is the continuing continuing demand for service, an aging population and the new diagnostic technologies. As I have mentioned in previous articles, articles, the minister has asked Dr. Wendy Graham of OMA to find solutions to these constant demands on health care. These challenges in health care are not unique to Ontario, it is the experience all over Canada and indeed the world. How can you and I help you may ask? Well, life style and expectations are perhaps where the demand for service starts. Until next week, 'a smile is the best way to improve your looks'.
