HHS and St. Joe's are saying that over $3.6B is needed to replace parts of Jurv, St. Joe's Charlton, and St. Peters.

Firstly, that's a lot of infrastructure replacement! Replacing hospital buildings is going to mean big construction activity in the ? 5-10+ years? ahead.
Secondly, whatever happened to HHS' plan to
close MUMC?
Thirdly, $3B in provincial funding is a massive request, on top of existing requests for downtown Hamilton to get funding for LRT, an elementary school at SJAM, supportive housing, and more. It's going to be really problematic for our community that downtown will have no MPP with a voice at Queen's Park for three years!
