Sylvia Jones, MPP for Dufferin-Caledon, makes special mention of PRI at Queen's Park On March 7, 2018 all members of the Progressive Conservative (PC) Caucus used their time in Question Period to highlight the failing mental health system in Ontario. Our MPP and Deputy House Leader Sylvia Jones called on the Minister of Health to match the $1.9 billion federal transfer for mental health services and make the largest investment in mental health services in Canadian provincial ...history. Ms Jones made special mention of Pine River Institute that is providing fantastic mental health and addiction treatment in our community.
