In furtherance of the Government’s plan to implement a new model of integrated health care delivery in Ontario, the Government enacted the Connecting Care Act, 2019 (the “Act”) under which a single provincial agency - Ontario Health - will assume centralized responsibility for most of the functions of at least twenty health agencies, including the North West Local Health Integration Network (the “North West LHIN”);
  2. Subsection 40(1) of the Act confers authority on the Minister of Health (the “Minister”) to issue orders transferring all or part of the employees, assets, liabilities, rights and obligations of the North West LHIN and other transferring agencies into Ontario Health;
  3. Under subsection 40(3) of the Act, the Minister provided Ontario Health and the North West LHIN with a notification letter dated August 15, 2019 advising of the Minister’s intention to order the transfer of parts of the North West LHIN into Ontario Health;
  4. The Minister now wishes to order the transfer of certain employees of the North West LHIN into Ontario Health effective as of December 2, 2019.

Therefore:
