 Let's move into member statements. I recognize the member from Nipissing. Recently I had the privilege to get a glimpse of the future of health care in the province of Ontario. The opening of MedVue MD patient studio in North Bay was a genuine advance in patient care. It is a telemedicine facility, part of a growing global trend that provides accessible primary and specialized medical expertise through internet technology. So, speaker, here's a snapshot of my visit. I met a registered practical nurse. She plugged me into an array of digital attachments connected online to an attending physician. I think this physician was in Pembroke or Padawawa, who I could see online and I could speak with. We talked about my blood pressure, temperature, and the RPN put a device in my ear and the doctor seeing the image digitally was able to offer a comment. This is an exciting, affordable way to reduce the over-alliance on emergency services for non-critical health issues and address the chronic shortage of family doctors. Speaker, I congratulate MedVue MD for choosing to locate in the city of North Bay. We must ensure that our health care administration is both agile and responsive as we embrace new and evolving technologies. Thank you. Thank you for their member statements. I recognize a member from Algoma, Manitoulin. Hello, Mr Speaker. I would like to highlight an outstanding organization in Algoma, Manitoulin. The Noctawindmen family and community services had their grand opening this past weekend in Sagamok First Nation. Noctawindmen family and community services embraces the fundamental philosophy of valuing relationships built on the foundations of good governance practices by fostering and maintaining positive and collaborative relationships by engaging our families and extended families in all aspects of service delivery, maintaining cohesive relationships with First Nation leadership, providing services that reflect the principles of strong partnerships among the Anishnabeg people, building models of collaboration with existing community services, consulting the communities in a comprehensive and meaningful process to ensure their input is respected in service design and delivery, developing working relationships with external partners to achieve agency goals. Thanks to the tireless work of the countless leaders, board of directors, staff members and program supporters within the North Shore Tribal Council communities, this has become a reality. Over the years of serving the good people of Algoma, Manitoulin, First Nations communities have offered me many opportunities to better understand the wisdom of their culture. These opportunities have led me to respect and revere the principles and vision of indigenous people. Jimmy Gwich, Bama Pi, Nahal. Thank you. Further member statements? I recognize a member from Durham. Thank you, Speaker. I get to stand up today once again to acknowledge the dedication of agri-food innovation that thrives in Durham. This year, Durham Foods in Port Perry has won the Premier's Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence, a repeat of their feat in 2012. The award celebrates producers, processors and organizations in rural communities who have innovated to create jobs and boost Ontario's economy. This year, Durham Foods was presented with the award for their innovation through an application that regulates food safety, a tablet computer system of the hydroponic spinach production that makes it easy and convenient for workers to keep track of information. Most importantly, this system helps them to develop documents and issues and ensure compliance with food safety regulations. It has eliminated time-consuming paperwork, made food safety audits faster and easier, and slashes their cost of the company's food safety program. I would like to personally congratulate Jim and Shelley and their entire team on this award and to thank them for innovating and making our community proud. I can't wait to see what they will come up with next in the future. Thank you. Thank you. Further member statements? I recognize a member from Huron Groups. Mr. Speaker, for some time now, I have heard opposition to the fail of Hydro-1 from all across the rotting of Huron-Bruce, and I would like to take the opportunity to share these concerns I've been hearing. To date, the majority of municipalities in Huron-Bruce, including Asheville, Central Huron, Huron East, Morris-Turmbary, North Huron, Aaron Elderly, Huron-Kinloss and Salking Shores have either passed motions opposing the sale of Hydro-1 or supported municipalities that have put forward resolutions. I share their concerns along with the people of Huron-Bruce, and quite frankly, there's a lot to be worried about, Speaker. Earlier this month, the financial accountability officer confirmed what the PC caucus and people from across the province have been saying all along. The Ontario-1 sale is a bad deal. It is projected that the sale could cost the province approximately $700 million in revenue every year. As the world's most indebted sub-national borrower, we cannot afford the sale. Speaker, along the concerned are everyday ratepayers who are worried, despite having some of the highest hydro-bills in North America now, they will see them increase yet again. And in fact, Speaker, my understanding is we'll see another rate increase as of January 1. And when I think about this, I'm reminded of a story of a Huron-Bruce resident who last year left his oven door open to heat his home. This is not what Ontarians deserve in 2015. It frustrates me that this government chose to act in their own interest rather than that of Ontarians. And I would like to thank the people of Huron-Bruce for sharing their concerns with me, and I will continue to share their voices here with you every opportunity. Good deal. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, Hardeep Singh is a 30-year-old father of two young children and husband who was struck by a motor vehicle and killed on October 29. He was struck and killed while riding his bicycle from Steele's Avenue between Toronto and Brampton. About two weeks ago, the Cycling Advisory Committee and Bike Brampton organized an event to pay homage to his death by placing a white ghost bicycle at the crash site. And while I really appreciate that gesture, I want to share my condolences with the family and the victims, his children, and wife of this tragic, tragic loss. But this loss teaches us that cycling is a practice while very beneficial to our society in terms of providing an alternative means of transportation, a recreation activity, and also something that promotes health. It is something that results in far too many deaths. And the tragedy is these deaths can be prevented. The most important way to prevent cycling deaths is to ensure we have cycling infrastructure. And that's why I want to call on this government and all levels of government to invest in the appropriate cycle infrastructure so that cyclists do not have to cycle with the fear of being struck and in some very terrible circumstances killed. Brampton is a city that has fallen far behind when it comes to cycling infrastructure. And as an avid cyclist, I call on this government, particularly the city of Brampton, to commit to increasing cycling infrastructure so that Hardeep's death is not in vain and that we can use this terrible tragedy to ensure that this ever tragedy doesn't happen again in the future. Thank you. Thank you very much. Further member statements, I recognize a member from Cambridge. Thank you, Speaker. One act of violence against one woman is one act too many. And yet Waterloo Regional Police Services continue to respond to hundreds of calls per year in Waterloo Region from women mostly experiencing domestic violence. As a society, these assaults should make us angry. In fact, we should rage against violence. On November 30th at the Dunfield Theatre in Cambridge, we will have that chance. And fittingly, during Women Abuse Awareness Month, the curtain will open on the performance of one act, Rage Against Violence. Written by Gary Kirkham and Dwight Storing for the Women's Crisis Services Waterloo Region Haven House Rebuild, this play is built and based on the true stories of 14 people whose lives have been impacted by domestic abuse. The audience can experience an honest real life window into the world of domestic abuse. The lives of its victims and those that work to eradicate domestic violence. Weaving together stories of women who have had experience with violence, gathered through interviews including my experiences as an emergency room nurse, the playwrights will tell these real life stories in a way that will engage the audience and leave a lasting impact. Each vignette will be played by a carefully chosen storyteller who will take part in a powerful community call to action. These stories should help people realize that domestic violence likely affects someone that they know that it's everyone's issues and serve as a call to do all we can do to stop it. Thank you. Thank you very much. For the Member's Statement, we recognize the Member from Bruce Gray-Oansound. Thank you very much Mr. Speaker. I'm pleased to rise in the House today and recognize the valued and charitable support of the Insurance Bureau of Canada and my community of Bruce Gray-Oansound. The IBC is generously supporting my constituents' health care with a donation of $40,000 to local health care facilities. Last week I joined IBC's Maddie Murari in distributing $5,000 checks to the Tobemory Health Services Auxiliary, Gray-Bruce Health Services including the Bruce Peninsula Health Services Foundation, Lions Head and Wyrton Hospitals, Oansound Hospital Foundation, Meyford Hospital Foundation and Center Gray Health Services Foundation, Markdale, the South Bruce Gray Health Center, Chesley District Health Services Foundation and Durham Community Health Care Foundation and the Hanover District Hospital Foundation. The $40,000 donation will help us improve cancer care services by upgrading operating rooms and will provide better health service by assisting in the buying of new hospital equipment as well as assisting each organization reach its capital campaign fundraising target quicker than anticipated. As a former Executive Director of the Bruce Peninsula Health Services Foundation, I truly appreciate the value of donations, donors and volunteers. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the leaders and volunteers of our local foundations for all they do to help ensure our local health care is the best that it can be. And a big thank you to the Insurance Bureau of Canada and especially to Doug Durabi, Matt Harashie and Maddie Murari for all of their work and efforts to make this investment in our local health care possible. In closing, I extend a sincere thank you to all donors for their philanthropic spirit and action in ensuring better health care services reach residents in Bruce and Gray counties. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I'd like to thank a member from Bruce Gray, Owen Sound. Further member statements. I recognize a member from Davenport. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and I rise today to extend my congratulations and best wishes to St. Mary's Polish Roman Catholic Parish that celebrated their 100th anniversary of my writing of Davenport on November 8th. In particular, I would like to congratulate the parish community in Davenport who held a fantastic celebration with a mass and reception. A special thank you to Reverend Kaczmerius Borowski, Archbishop Thomas Collins and the Board and volunteers for organizing this landmark celebration. For over 100 years, Ontario has welcomed people from Poland. When they arrived in Ontario, many Polish immigrants relied on St. Mary's Parish Catholic Church. St. Mary's is one of the oldest and most respected Catholic institutions in Toronto. The parish has been part of Davenport since 1915. Throughout time, St. Mary's Catholic Church has served the Polish-Canadian community in Toronto, preserving their culture and their faith. The parish church continues to serve as a way for new Canadians arriving from Poland to establish support networks. Now, the Church of the Parish School has expanded beyond the Polish community and have made a positive impact on many of the diverse communities in Davenport. As you know, Ontario has a strong and proud Polish community. In my writing of Davenport, Polish culture is alive and well, and the 100-year anniversary of St. Mary's Polish Catholic Church is evidence of the long-standing presence of the cultural contributions of Polish Ontarians. I want to thank St. Mary's Roman Catholic Church for their commitment for preserving Polish culture in Davenport so that the next generation of Polish Ontarians may understand and appreciate their long-standing history in the writing of Davenport. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you for the member statements that recognize a member from Mississauga Brampton South. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, as a member for the great writing of Mississauga Brampton South, recently I had the opportunity to attend the 40th anniversary of Plasque, the Peel Lunch and After School Program. Since 1975, this charitable community-based agency has grown from a lunch and after school program to offer early learning and childcare for more than 13,000 children every year. This agency is helping to improve the lives of children by offering care that is supportive of childhood development and highly educational and helping parents balance their busy family and professional lives by creating a safe, affordable place for their children during the work day. Mr. Speaker, I'm so pleased that our government has been so supportive of childcare programs by providing more than $1 billion each year to 47 municipalities. I wish to thank the Plasque team for their work with the parents and children of Peel Region and I congratulate them on their 40th anniversary. Mr. Speaker, real success is shown in the happiness and achievement of our children. Thank you. That concludes member statements, but before we...
