"We're ensuring those children with complex care needs stay with their care providers," she said. "What we've been doing 1s a case by case review of each child's needs." Included in the assess- ment is the length of time a patient has been cared for by a particular nurse, and the complexity of medical needs involved. Ms Harris said that as long as the assessment remains the same, the care the patient receives will stay in place. "As long as the child's needs remain the same, the assessment will remain the same," she said. That's not much com- fort to Mr. Lauber and his colleagues, who fear that, being with contracts reviewed each year, changes could be foisted upon them and their chil- dren. He said that while he and other parents recog- nize the need for cost effi- ciency in the health care system, they don't want to see corners cut at the expense of Ontario's most vulnerable patients. "What we can't risk is our children's lives," he said. "That continuity (of caregiving) is the only thing that keeps us going."

We don't belong, we don't want to belong, and we will not belong." The mayor said the residents he has talked to don't want any part of the GTA. "These are the people that elected me, and these are the people that I wish to serve... not the GTA."
