Media Statement
Sarah Hoffman, Alberta’s New Democrat Shadow Minister for Health, issued the following statement in response to the UCP taking snacks away from kids undergoing cancer treatment:
“The choices they make show the UCP government is more focused on cuts, chaos and corruption than providing care, comfort and compassion to kids with cancer.
“Taking popsicles and juice boxes away from kids undergoing treatment is cruel. And this is about more than just popsicles. It’s about supplying something to eat for people fasting for appointments and people stuck in the emergency room who may not have brought money for food.
“The Health Minister clearly has no idea what’s happening in her department.
“This is what the UCP always do. Propose something terrible, then marginally walk it back when the public realizes how bad it is.
“Albertans deserve better than this unethical, incompetent government.”
