| Barry Spruce | Yes | Freedom Party is all about giving people the opportunity to express concerns and being accountable. Yes we would support an Ombudsman program to appeal decisions across the MUSH sector, There is room for improvement in this area. |
| Raymond Dartsch | Yes | That's also overdue. |
| Ted McMeekin | Yes | This is why we introduced Bill 179 - The Public Sector and MPP Accountability and Transparency Act. This Bill announced March 6, 2014, would open up Ombudsman oversight into the MUSH sector for the first time on Ontario's history. It also created a new patient Ombudsman for complaints about hospitals and long-term care homes. In addition, the Bill gave the existing Provincial Advocate for Children and Youth the power to investigate Children's Aid Societies. Unfortunately, due to the opposition parties not supporting the budget, the current election killed the Bill. It is our intention to re-introduce this if we are fortunate enough to be given the privilege to form government.
