Congratulations to Prime Minister Mark Carney
The Registered Nurses' Association of Ontario (RNAO) extends heartfelt congratulations to Mark Carney on being elected prime minister of Canada. Your leadership embodies a hopeful and respectful vision for a sustainable and shared future. We are inspired by your words on April 29 – “Together, we will build a Canada worthy of our values. We will build Canada strong, Canada free, Canada forever.”
Prime Minister Carney, we are eager and ready to work together to transform these words into reality. As registered nurses, nurse practitioners, and nursing students, we are committed to partnering with you to:
- Strengthen our public health-care system, including primary care, pharmacare, and dental care.
- Expand social programs, including child care.
- Massively build affordable and accessible, non-market housing.
- Tackle the climate emergency and accelerate the transition to a decarbonized economy.
- Undertake transformational action on wealth inequality, social inequities, division and intolerance.
- Advance truth and reconciliation.
We are inspired by your commitment to building a better future, and we stand ready to help make this vision a reality.
On behalf of our 54,500 members, we offer our full support for a journey of transformational leadership.
