So far the Panel has collected over 300 submissions from the public, which will be used to form a report that will be delivered to the Minister of Health and the Premier. The final report will be released to the media across Ontario.

The public is invited to watch and participate in the hearings, and there will be spots available for those who have not booked presentations in advance. In order to book a spot to make a presentation (7 mins), please contact us as soon as possible and leave us your phone number(s), the town at which you would like to present, and any preferred times.
