I was please today upon receiving a reply from the Hon. Jim Watson, Minister of Municipal Affairs, regarding my letter (see post: A Request for Assistance.... dated June 27, 2008). The Minister notes that this is really a local municipal matter. However, he courteously forwarded a copy of my correspondence to the Hon. Jim Bradley, Minister of Transportation, for information. Further he forwarded a copy to the Hon. David Caplan, the recently appointed Minister of Health and Long Term Care, regarding the expanding health care services into Ottawa local communities.
While Minister Watson does not make any commitments to help carry this matter forward, at least he and his ministry made a serious and considered response to my concerns - somewhat different from the automated form letter response received from the Office of the Premier (my Provincial representative from Ottawa South!
I intend keeping the Minister informed on progess on this case particularly because he will likely have regular contact with Councillor Peter Hume in his new role as President of the Ass'n of Municipalities of Ontario.
