Subject: An email from the Premier of Ontario

Dear Ms. Evans:

Thank you for providing me with a copy of your organization’s submissions to the Minister of Finance. I have noted your comment with respect to the Fair Workplaces, Better Jobs Act.

Our government recognizes the value of the community and developmental services sector, and the staff who work tirelessly to provide high quality services to some of the province’s most vulnerable individuals.

The need for better worker protections, improved wages and compensation for the not-for-profit sector was a recurring theme heard through the provincewide consultation on Bill 148. We appreciate the opportunity for continued dialogue with agencies and community partners as we work together on strategies to assist in addressing ongoing pressures. We are confident that working together we will find innovative and effective solutions.

My colleagues in the Ontario government and I remain committed to improving incomes, promoting better employment opportunities and increasing fairness.

Thanks again for contacting me. Please accept my best wishes.

Kathleen Wynne
Premier of Ontario
