LIBERAL MINISTER LIVING IN PRIVELEGE WHILE DOWNPLAYING SUFFERING OF LESS FORTUNATE

Yesterday's Waterloo Region Record carrys Luisa D'Amato's Opinion piece titled "People so close to the edge can't afford government computer glitches". The story is all about the wasted millions the Liberal government has spent this time on computer software to allegedly improve monthly welfare and disability payments. The software was known ahead of time to be problematic due to its' use in other jurisdictions but nevertheless Ontario went ahead with it anyways. The predictable results are financially desperate and dependant people are not receiving their monthly stipends on time. These stipends are of course supposed to be high enough to live on, albeit just barely. Late payments due to no fault of the recipients simply is not acceptable yet Liberal Social Services Minister Helena Jaczek stated in the Legislature that "the opposition is trying to make a mountain out of a very small molehill". For the Minister it is obviously a very small molehill. For those however who aren't overpaid, priveleged Cabinet Ministers, it's the difference between eating or not. Shame on her.
