Our clients' only for the direct service they receive from us. We do not have the gov- ernment to fund our deficits if, at year-end, we find we have miscalculated! Deficit funding is funded by all of us. .through our tax dollars! Commercial/ private providers make only a one to two per cent profit on the services we provide, and most of that is put back into our compa- nies in order to provide continu- ous training and upgrading for . our staff. Why would the NDP govern- ment of Ontario implement a not-for-profit policy, when the same policy has failed in mani- toba? Manitoba has now real- ized that they have created a de- livery system tied up in red tape, and is now inviting the private, commercial providers back. Do we really need another government run bureaucracy? Especially one that will not only control the finances but also the delivery of the service? This government has spent millions of dollars setting up consultation groups that pre- tend to listen to the needs of the people. This money would have been better used to provide the ers employ oveg, 800 people in the Durham Region, most of assistance required to enable our frail, elderly, and disabled citizens to remain in their homes. We had a petition from 156 acres of Ontario read in the House of Commons to ask for a balanced mix of service provi- sion, between not-for-profit and commercial service providers. The result was the government decided to allow commercial providers to deliver up to 10 per cent of government funded homemaking hours. If your area currently provides 85 per cent of those hours, what will a 75 per cent reduction do to your business? The answer is very clear. We believe in free enterprise and freedom of choice. Our cli- ents deserve to lave choice as to who will provide their in home health care. With the NDP poli- cy all choice is removed. Clients NDP decision concerns group will receive what the govern- ment determines they need, as well as who will provide the care. ; Commercial/private provid- whom are female and members of visible minorities. What are their guarantees of future em- ployment under this proposed system? The government has already stated displaced hospi- tal workers will be given priori- ty for re-employment in this system. Where do our employ- ees fit in? What are their guar- antees? Do we not still live in a demo- cratic society? : We are concerned that this decision by the NDP govern- ment adversely affects. all resi- dents, not only in the Region of Durham, but throughout Onta- rio. We urge you to become in- formed and involved. The Commercial/Private Health Care Providers ofthe Region of Durham Kinsmen Club thanks Cadets Open Letter to: aj.
