Dr. Christian Kraeker: McMaster University

Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq Dept: Dr. Christian Kraeker and Dr. Tim O'Shea joined three others to interrupt a presentation by Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq at McMaster University, according to CBC. O'Shea asked why the federal government hasn't met with the Canadian Doctors for Refugee Health Care, a national collective that formed this year in response to cuts to refugee benefits and two McMaster doctors interrupted a federal funding announcement in Hamilton on Thursday to voice their concerns over refugee health care. Aglukkaq had just announced $7 million for bone health research projects when Kraeker and O'Shea stood to protest recent cuts to a federal program that provides health-care benefits to refugee claimants.
