Dear Minister Moridi:
With a volatile economy, rural Ontario is looking to your government to help promote small businesses, entrepreneurship and create jobs in our communities.
For over two decades, this support was made possible through the Ontario Self EmploymentBenefit program, known as OSEB. In fact, the OSEB program was a success in my riding of Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound, providing financial support and business planning advice to help retrain laid-off workers starting their ownbusiness. Since 2005, as many as 400 constituents in my riding alone went on to start abusiness, and to create new jobs in our region because of this benefit.
The Bleeding Carrot, Dr. Cobbler's Shoes & Swirls and Elsie's Diner, with the latter now employing 18 people, are just a few successful highlights.
The Grey Bruce Health Unit will host an addiction treatment rapid access clinic in Owen Sound as part of a new integrated approach to addiction services in Grey Bruce.

Gonorrhea is one of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in Canada with rates on the rise. Locally, Grey Bruce has seen a more than 300% increase, from six cases in 2013 to 25 in 2014 and a similar pattern developing for 2015. With early diagnosis, it can be treated successfully.
The Grey Bruce Health Unit is working to provide information on STI's, their prevention, testing and treatment. This includes a campaign promoting the availability of urine-based testing for gonorrhea and Chlamydia; the Pee in a Cup campaign.
Public Health reminds the public to use safe sexual practices. Those who are participating in high risk behaviours, such as anonymous sexual contact, those who have multiple partners and unprotected sex should visit their doctor routinely, at least every six months, for testing of sexually transmitted infections.
