Paul Caulford: Joe Oliver

Health Care Dept: "I just cannot understand how my government can take the most vulnerable of people and decide it's appropriate to make them more vulnerable," said Dr. Paul Caulford, a Scarborough, Ont., family physician, who has worked with immigrants and refugees for decades, according to CBC. Under the plan, some refugee claimants would only be entitled to urgent care others would be denied all care unless they have a disease that would be a risk to the public, such as tuberculosis. Immigration Minister Jason Kenney says the plan is to ensure refugees don t get better health care than ordinary Canadians. He said the move would save the government about $100 million over the next five years and about 80 doctors staged a sit-in at the Toronto office of federal cabinet minister Joe Oliver Friday, with the activists demanding to meet with the minister to raise concerns about changes to health care for refugees and refugee claimants. The local doctors chose Oliver's office because he is the cabinet minister who represents Toronto. Local physicians gathered outside Conservative minister Joe Oliver's Toronto office and waved placards decrying proposed cuts to health care for refugees and refugee claimants.
