Farina Hassan, NDP candidate for Mississauga—Erin Mills

“I love my community. People here need to have access to services that keep us healthy and competitive. We can provide that by repairing the damage done to our health care system after years of Liberal and Conservative cuts. An NDP government will invest in education and health care to include pharmacare, dental care and mental health care. This will help make life more affordable for families, while we work to create good local jobs. I look forward to working with Andrea Horwath and the NDP to make this happen for families in Mississauga—Erin Mills and right across the province.”
