Oh come on now. Attending question period at Queen’s Park can be an exercise in frustration as the opposition’s questions and the government’s answers seldom align.
You can ask anything you want, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the government will provide you with an answer that remotely addresses it.
Yesterday NDP Leader Andrea Horwath asked the Premier about an 80-year old patient at the London Health Sciences Centre who says he was told to clean his toilet.
Joseph Cummins was not just any patient – he is a retired professor of genetics at Western University and knows about hospital-acquired infections.
According to today’s Toronto Star, Cummins wandered out into the ward looking for someone to clean the bathroom he shares, at first finding no professional staff on the ward. Cummins admits to having had a mishap after being given a strong laxative and wanted to ensure it was cleaned up.
