To Hon. Mr. Gerretsen (Minister of Municipal Affairs):
Paramedics have successfully lobbied the Federal government to obtain Public Safety Occupation designation, which Bill 206 recognizes, yet the Province of Ontario has decided that they are not to be given the same recognition as their Emergency Service counterparts in the Fire and Police sectors.
THIS PLACES THE PUBLIC IN REAL DANGER!.
Asking paramedics to continue performing physically, emotionally, and mentally demanding work at a stage in their career where other emergency service workers can safely exit their professions PLACES THE PUBLIC AT RISK!
Although the news reports every day that Paramedics are included in the Bill as receiving early retirement and supplemental benefits, THIS IS NOT THE CASE, and we the undersigned WANT BILL 206 AMENDED OR STOPPED!
I started this because the reality of the work was being ignored and I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you feel the same way. Behind the scenes I have been reaching out to those in power to make sure they see these stories. This momentum belongs to you because I am just a messenger for the people doing this job every day.

My wife has done this job for 20 years and her back is shot. Why are they treated like second class emergency workers?

About time someone looked into this. Paramedics deserve the same respect as police and fire.
