March 5, 2018

As a partner in the Smoke-Free Ontario Strategy (SFO) for more than a decade, RNAO knows it is critical not to undermine advances that have been made through the Smoke-Free Ontario Act. The primary public health concerns with respect to use of cannabis in public spaces are: harms from second-hand cannabis smoke; potential harms of exposure to second-hand cannabis vapour; and concern about the social renormalization of smoking.

Submission: RNAO submission on Bill 160: Strengthening Quality and Accountability for Patients Act, 2017

November 16, 2017

RNAO is pleased to offer its submission on Bill 160, Strengthening Quality and Accountability for Patients Act, 2017.

RNAO supports Bill 160's objectives of strengthening transparency, accountability and quality of care in a person-centred health system. However, we caution against the unintended consequences of a number of the measures in the bill, such as expanding the practice of paramedics to primary care, accelerating privatization of health services, and further compromising safety of residents in long-term care.
