Ont. NDP Leader Hampton on Child Care

STANDING UP FOR KIDS - FOR BABY SAFETY, CHILD CARE

NDP Leader Howard Hampton put on a full-court press for kids at Queen's Park this week.

On Tuesday, Hampton called on the McGuinty government to give Ontario hospitals the resources they need to improve maternity ward security - that after two women were arrested for snatching a baby from a Toronto hospital. Hampton called for more nurses, mandatory maternity ward sign-ins and baby security bracelets.

Then on Wednesday, Hampton spoke up for Ontario kids and parents who are losing out because Stephen Harper has given up on child care. "Dalton McGuinty has a choice to make. He can keep his promise to stand up for kids, and invest $300 million Ontario dollars to create a made-in-Ontario child care system, or he can cut and run on child care," Hampton said.
