He’s back in Queen’s Park to advocate for the people of Niagara Falls, Fort Erie and Niagara-on-the-Lake.

NDP MPP Wayne Gates says there are several issues that need to be addressed by the Ford Government; including a shortage of personal protective equipment and the need for more testing in Niagara and beyond.

He’s going to highlight how the pandemic has affected our long-term care and retirement homes and he’s calling for an independent inquiry into long-term care.

Gates is also planning to introduce legislation, to make sure that workers under the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board are covered if they catch COVID-19 while on the job.
