MPndp Claude Gravelle 191 post Francophone Community in Northern Ontario
Mr. Speaker, our party leader recently visited Sudbury and the Nickel Belt, where he had the opportunity to meet representatives from our vibrant Franco-Ontarian community.

The Nickel Belt riding proudly boasts the second-largest French-speaking population in Ontario.

We met with the Regroupement des organismes culturels de Sudbury, an association of French-language organizations that includes the Carrefour francophone de Sudbury; the Centre franco-ontarien de folklore; 5-Penny New Music Concerts; Concerts La Nuit sur l'étang; the Prise de parole publishing house; the Galerie du Nouvel-Ontario; the Salon du livre du Grand Sudbury; and the Théâtre du Nouvel-Ontario.

The Nickel Belt area has three French-language newspapers: Le Voyageur, La Tribune in Sturgeon Falls, and La Vision in French River.

We also have a French-language radio station, Le Loup.

West Nipissing is a model of bilingualism in Canada. La Francophonie in northern Ontario is an amazing and dynamic community. Congratulations and keep up the good work.

Mary Rita HollandStop ignoring local Kingston voices on planned hospital privatization: NDP QUEEN'S PARK — Today in the legislature, Nickel Belt MPP France Gélinas called on Minister of Health and Long-Term Care Deb Matthews to stop ignoring local opposition to government plans to spend millions on the St. Mary's hospital privatization. "Kingston residents are very concerned about the fact that St. Mary’s hospital is being planned as a P3, a private-public partnership—so concerned, in fact, that this weekend they are holding an unofficial by-election on the issue," explained Gélinas. "P3s have been shown by the Auditor General to waste taxpayers’ money as they transfer responsibility for a public hospital to a for-profit corporation with no accountability, with no oversight." Financial experts have said the St. Mary's P3 will cost $100 million. "This is $100 million that should be spent on improving patient care, but the minister says that the P3 is cheaper," said Gélinas. "Why, then, has the minister refused to release any of the supporting documents that claim to make the case for this P3, and how can the minister justify ignoring the voices of the local residents of Kingston in justifying this P3?"
