Conservative MP Kelly Block: Constituents

Constituency Office Dept: Earlier this month, Conservative MP Kelly Block sent out a letter to constituents praising recent cuts to refugee health benefits, according to CBC. On Sunday, about 300 people gathered outside Block's constituency office in Saskatoon to protest the letter . Block has said a draft copy of the letter was sent out in error, but she defended the government's policy and a political flyer sent out by a Saskatchewan member of Parliament has outraged some medical students and doctors in Ottawa. "New arrivals to Canada have received dental and vision care paid by your tax dollars not anymore," the letter read in part. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
