		In the southern part of the riding, Lankin's machine was largely responsible for the election of Sandra Bussin, who beat two powerful incumbents to become the only rookie member of the Megacity council.

		Ms Lankin: Mr Clement, I just want to come back to one point that you raised, which is that you think health care restructuring needs to happen and we need to get on with it, and on that point I agree.
		Ms Lankin: I think it's very important that we understand that there are people who are going to be voting on this bill who don't understand what in fact their government is doing.

	Eye - United Way hangs a left - 07.12.01
		Lankin will bring a much-needed fresh perspective to United Way, which supports local agencies serving poor and disadvantaged households in Toronto, and undertakes an annual fundraising drive that raised more than $65 million last year.

		Lankin's appointment, therefore, should create hope on two fronts: first, that she will bring energy and commitment to United Way; and then that a sense of regeneration will spill over to encourage needed new directions for the city.

		Johns' first rebuff of Lankin's request led to another more emphatic appeal: "Minister, in order to stand up for women you have to stand up for their right of access to legal medical services, all of them, including the right of access to abortion services.
