Liberal MPs have penned a letter to Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer imploring him to cancel a Greater Toronto Area candidate's $250 a ticket fundraising event billed as a discussion of 'the business of healthcare.'

OTTAWA – Liberal MPs have penned a letter to Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer imploring him to cancel a Greater Toronto Area candidate's $250 a ticket fundraising event billed as a discussion of "the business of healthcare."

However, the reference to the two MPs as potential future ministers was removed after CTV News approached Robertson's campaign for comment. "That was one of the leas offensive parts," Rob Oliphant, the Liberal MP who currently represents the riding, told CTV News after learning that the event description had been amended. He said regardless, the event is still troubling and should be cancelled. "It's still cash for access," Oliphant said, because it is inviting people to donate to the Conservative Party to be able to help shape their policy.

"Let us know how the current healthcare system affects your practice and which policy changes you think would have the greatest positive impact on you and your patients," the event page reads. "The concept that the business of health care comes over the patient outcomes… that's what worries me," Oliphant said. "Health care is not a business, health care is about life and death."

what ever justin..

Didnt Trudeau just have another event that guests had to pay to go to?

Lol

At $250, that’s $1250 cheaper than Trudeau’s “Thanks for Your Donation” fundraiser.

A chance to rub shoulders with Poilievre Yuck.

Liberals make me sick with their hypocrisy. All political parties do this. Add this to their self-stated, and incorrect, moral superiority, and you end up with the likes of Justin Castro as PM.

GadflyQuebec Smart! Expose them.

Guess by this heading, healthcare has become a 'Business' and not an essential service as specified in the Charter, all governments have betrayed Canadians by failing to recognize the Charter as the supreme law of Canada when rights or freedoms are replaced for profit,

Hmm I’m sorry you were saying?

Who gives a 💩 what liberals want.

Hey Andi.. you mess with Canadian healthcare AT YOUR OWN PERIL fucko!

DCTFTW So politicians shouldn't lie now its cash for access Didn't Jr just have a 1500$ a head dinner where he yelled at Indigenous protesters Somone CPC obviously made an error and it was corrected Notice its the MP who is currently representing the district who is complaining. funny

JT and Liberals should talk on this one!!! They just gave Loblaws 12 million dollars for refrigerators!!! Plus I sure if Indian doctors or health care providers show up they won’t be mocked and kicked out!! The liberals are a joke!!!

What do you call the $1,000 per head dinner the Liberals held so Trudeau could mock an indigenous woman who protested their water’s mercury levels?

Never let Socialism get in the way of a good idea, eh Liberals?

They are worried about $250?!! How about $12M of our dollars for Loblaws

Yeah save your money! He is looking to destroy healthcare,his goal, you go you complicit!!

About that.
