This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ontario's health care spending was the lowest in Canada per capita and below the average of other provinces in the 2022-2023 fiscal year, according to a new report by a government watchdog.
Ontario Liberal MPP Adil Shamji said in an email on Wednesday said the report shows that the province is failing residents.
"Amidst a crisis, it is completely unacceptable for Canada's largest province to have the lowest per-capita healthcare funding, especially when 2.3 million people don't have a family doctor and emergency rooms are closing every week," Shamji said.
"Under Doug Ford, Ontario has seen the worst healthcare system performance in our province's history, and along with rampant mismanagement, this is an important reason why."
"Despite having one of the highest budget deficits on record, the Ford government has repeatedly failed to put forward solutions that make Ontarians' lives easier and more affordable," Schreiner said.
The report also notes that Ontario received $1,984 per capita in federal transfers in 2022-2023, the lowest among the provinces and $1,927, or 49.3 per cent, below the rest of Canada average.
