The lack of accountability, the muzzling and firing of scientists, the lack of scientific input into the advisory system, Bill C-51 and the risks it presents to our rights and freedoms, Bill C-24 and what it does to Canadian citizenship.

We need to look at our health-care system. A hospital bed is not the best place for a senior who needs long-term care. I’m concerned about taxation and immigration.</b></span></div>
