Supplementary Health Benefits: Refugee Claimants

Flyer Dept: The Saskatoon-Rosetown-Biggar MP's flyer, mailed out earlier this month, praised the Conservative government's cuts to supplementary health benefits for refugee claimants, according to CBC. The pamphlet has sparked a lot of concern , with some people calling it racist and hundreds rallied outside the Saskatoon office of Conservative MP Kelly Block yesterday to protest a controversial flyer she sent to her constituents. "New arrivals to Canada have received dental and vision care paid for by your tax dollars not anymore," the flyer states in part. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
