Pressure is being put on the provincial Government once again to address the issue of land ambulance non-emergency patient transfers.
Kenora District Services Board Chair Barry Baltessen says they are sending strongly worded letters to both the Ministry of Health and the Northwest Local Health Integration Network.
Baltessen says the LHIN has received 5-separate reports on the financial impact of transfers but stresses nothing has been done about it.
Kenora MP Greg Rickford says he's doing everything in his power to overturn an RCMP decision to reclassify a sporting gun that is common in northwestern Ontario.
The Swiss Arm SG550 and SG551 have been deemed prohibited.
Rickford says local residents are outraged with the decision.
The Minister of State says the RCMP hasn't announced what gun owners should do with the rifles after purchasing them in good faith.
The provincial Liberals says they want to bring more accountability and oversight to government and the broader public sector.
The Liberals intend to introduce legislation that includes new powers for Ontario Ombudsman and more oversight of spending of provincially-funded agencies.
Premier Kathleen Wynne says it's been a commitment of her's since taking office.
The legislation also calls for the creation of a new patient Ombudsman to investigate complaints specific to hospitals and long-term care facilities.
