圣卡塔琳城议员哈利·贝特曼敦促安大略省政府为尼亚加拉地区创建新的资金协议, 他指出多年来缺乏资金使得服务受到压力, St. Catharines councillor Haley Bateman is urging the Ontario government to create a new funding deal for Niagara, citing years of underfunding that strain services amid rising costs from homelessness, mental health, housing, and emergency care. 她说, 省内没有全额资金的服务强制性做法迫使当地纳税人承担负担, She says the province’s practice of mandating services without full funding forces local taxpayers to bear the burden, especially during the peak tourism season when the region sees 14 million visitors and $3 billion in revenue. 许多急救医务人员全职工作, 但被归类为兼职而没有福利. Bateman highlighted that policing now takes 39% of the region’s budget and that many emergency medical staff work full-time yet are classified as part-time without benefits. 她说她怀疑对正式动议的支持, 并呼吁进行系统性改变, 指出类似的问题已经被安大略省市政协提出多年. She bypassed regional council, saying she doubted support for a formal motion, and called for systemic change, noting similar concerns have been raised for years by the Association of Municipalities of Ontario.
