Ontario Premier Doug Ford faces backlash for not stopping Quest Diagnostics' closure of Sudbury's lab, worsening healthcare access in Northern Ontario.
Ontario Premier Doug Ford faces criticism for not intervening after Quest Diagnostics, a U.S. company that acquired LifeLabs from OMERS in July 2024, closed the Sudbury lab.
The move requires blood samples from Northern Ontario to be sent to labs in the Greater Toronto Area, raising concerns about delays, temperature fluctuations, and sample degradation due to longer travel times and multiple handling steps.
Residents and local officials, including MPPs and the mayor, express frustration over the lack of government action, arguing the decision prioritizes corporate profit over public health and regional equity, especially given Ford’s past opposition to foreign ownership in other sectors.
