Yesterday, @OntLiberal environment critic, @marymargaretbey, directly asked the government questions about the future of well water testing by Public Health Labs, one of which is located in Kingston. Unfortunately, they didn't guarantee it ⬇️ Question: “Are you going to continue the free well water testing in Ontario?” Sneaky Answer: “Public Health Ontario provides free testing of water…” (They evaded answering the question) Question: “Are you going to close the six public health testing labs?” Answer: (no answer) 1/🧵 #ONpoli
The Medical Officer of Health for Kingston Frontenac Lennox and Addington said recently, “Access to free and readily available private well water sampling is an important public health approach for private well users.”
@tedhsu @OntLiberal @marymargaretbey Having access to water testing is especially important when there is flooding which is becoming more prevalent due to climate change.
