We think she wants to be the guardian of medicare. But does Prime Minister Carney?” said Steven Staples, the national director of policy with the Canadian Health Coalition, quoted in this rofile of federal health minister Marjorie Michel @MarjoriePLC by @R_SPatel of the @TorontoStar. @JMACL3AN @StevenStaples @MarkJCarney @mablanchard65 @DougEyolfson @HedyFry @HelenaJaczek @drbrendanhanley @DrJacquesRamsay @docdanielle @CMA_Docs @BoluOgunyemi1 @canadanurses @CFNU @CFNUPresident
