The following letter is in response to a story titled ''Dream tool' being taken away by province: public health doc,' published June 24.
I would like to express my extreme disappointment with the Ford government's recent decision to end the funding for the Ontario wastewater surveillance that was initiated in 2020.
Preventive maintenance is the most cost-effective way to protect the residents of Ontario from another disastrous outbreak similar to COVID-19.
Four sample sites in Toronto is useless for the other areas in Ontario.
Why does this government eschew an effective tool that public health experts recommend?
Politicians need to consider appropriate experts, not other politicians.
