In 2008, the province removed a regulation that let municipalities present each other with bills for paramedic services they’d rendered each year, spelling out a formula for how the costs were to be worked out and the terms under which the bills had to be paid. When the regulation was in force, we made long-term deals to settle up at the end of each year, but those expired at the end of 2015. Now, Renfrew or Leeds-Grenville or Prescott-Russell can send Ottawa a demand for money but Ottawa can ignore it.
The neighbour counties say Ottawa’s demand for their ambulances has increased since we stopped paying for them at the end of last year. Surprise.
