Jenny Kwan: Ndp Counterpart and Members

jenny kwan: PIPELINE DIVIDES TRUDEAU YOUTH COUNCIL Fissures have appeared inside Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's youth council after a group of current and former members publicly urged the Liberal government to reverse its decision to buy Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline, according to The Chronicle Herald. The request was made in a letter to the prime minister signed by 16 past and present members of the council who express immense disappointment with the planned 4.5-billion pipeline purchase. Conservative immigration critic Michelle Rempel and her NDP counterpart, Jenny Kwan, have been pushing the Liberals to reveal more about their plan to deal with the influx of border crossers. Other members say they do not agree with this position. An analysis to be released today by the Canadian Medical Association urges Ottawa to provide bigger and bigger annual top-ups to the existing federal health-care transfer program. FEDS URGED TO PAY 21B FOR SENIORS CARE Physicians are calling on the federal government to shell out another 21 billion over the next decade to help provinces and territories pay for soaring health-care costs that will be propelled by the unavoidable growth of Canada's seniors population.
