QUEEN’S PARK — Niagara Centre MPP Jeff Burch slammed the government this December 1st, 2025 after Niagara Health announced nearly 100 jobs will be eliminated.
“Last week we learned that Niagara Health will be eliminating nearly 100 jobs in hospitals across the Niagara Region,” Burch said.
“These jobs are being eliminated to deal with a deficit of 26 million dollars caused by this provincial government. The same thing is playing out in hospitals all across this province as already understaffed hospitals struggle to deal with deficits created by this government’s negligence.” the Niagara Centre MPP added.
The Ontario Hospital Association<https://www.oha.com/Bulletins/Media%20Statement%20-%20Financial%20Outlook%20-%20October%202025.pdf> this October stated that “many Ontario hospitals are facing significant financial and operational pressures due to an increased demand for health care services and growing numbers of patients with more complex care needs.”
Burch added; “This minister has made a habit of blaming local hospitals and local hospital boards for her own government’s incompetence – as if it’s a coincidence that 50% of Ontario hospitals are dealing with deficits.
“All across Ontario in cities like North Bay and Ottawa, this government is pushing hundreds of overworked hospital workers out the door at Christmas time due to deficits created by their own neglect and incompetence.”
Burch called on the Minister to stand up for hospital workers and protect these jobs.
