Mr. Speaker, on Saturday, March 23rd, I had the distinct pleasure of welcoming the Premier
00:00:10.800
of Ontario to the beautiful riding of Carleton as he joined me for a tour of the Osgoode Care
00:00:15.720
Centre in Metcalfe. I want to thank Laurie Norris Dudley, the President and CEO of the
00:00:21.180
Osgoode Care Centre, Dave Eggett, the Chair of the Osgoode Care Centre, and Gino Milito,
00:00:26.400
the chair of the Osgoode Ward Business Association, for helping me organize a
00:00:30.840
fantastic visit of their facilities for the Premier. The Osgoode Care Centre is
00:00:35.880
a not-for-profit long-term care home in the riding, often regarded as one of the
00:00:40.220
finest in the province. It is one of the jewels of Carleton, Mr. Speaker, a place
00:00:44.940
that becomes a new home for residents and their families, where they and their
00:00:49.020
family members are welcomed with open arms. It was so great to see the joy on
00:00:53.760
the faces of the residents, frontline workers, volunteers, staff, and key community stakeholders
00:00:59.660
who have been involved in the Osgoode Care Centre for decades when they had an opportunity
00:01:04.000
to speak with the Premier and grab a few photos.

I particularly like the photo that I took with Vera Mitchell, who I have adopted as
00:01:10.920
my grandmother, and the Premier, one of us flagging her on either side.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to thank the Premier for coming to Carleton and joining me for

Since his visit, I have been receiving a seemingly endless flow of support and appreciation
