The five candidates vying to be the next leader of the Ontario Liberal Party squared off in a debate in Thunder Bay last week.Adil Shamji is a former emergency physician and the sitting MPP for Don Valley East.
Q: What is your intention as leader for the resource sector? How do you balance environmental impacts to the land around forestry? Shamji: We saw at Queen's Park [back in] March, the Chief of Neskantaga First Nation saying that [the Premier] has absolutely stopped listening altogether. Consultation is not something that we do [when] it's convenient. It's something that we have to do all of the time, and that spirit is something that I would take forward with me. It's something that I take very seriously.
We have never had a strategy to ensure that our family doctors actually end up in the places that need them most. We don't do any forecasting, for example, to see where there are shortages and where those shortages are expected to get worse. And so I have called for funding of a data driven strategy that would allow us to do that.
I don't think that there's a silver bullet [to this issue], but if we can accomplish all of those things, I am confident that we can deliver a solution to the crisis of family medicine here in the north."
