Minister should respond to paper

Whether one agrees with Health Minister Michael Murphy's health reforms or not, the fact that a Minister of Health will not respond to questions from a major provincial newspaper is astounding.

The Telegraph-Journal is the primary source of information for thousands of people living in this province. Health affects every New Brunswicker and the minister, by refusing to speak to the reporters from this paper, effectively means he is refusing to speak to the people of this province who he is charged with representing and who, I might add, pay his salary.
