Removal:

I dont understand why the enclosed paragraph was removed without any discussion:

"Clement ran an unfair physician audit system while he was Minister of Health and Long-Term Care which resulted in at least one suicide. Judge Peter Cory found the audit system administered with the College of Physicians and Surgeon's Medical Review Committee to be devastating, debilitating and a threat to the health care system. As a result, the new McGuinty Liberal government has suspended the Committee (the College's biggest) and is redesigning the system so that the College will likely play no part."

[edit] External Link on this Page

I disagree that the external link should be kept on this page. Not only is it not NPOV (which it may not necessarily have to be), it cheapens the entire rest of the article, which is otherwise well written and researched. The external link reads like a kindergarten rant about someone not sharing toys at recess. Wikipedia can't possibly be in the business of linking to every chump or two-bit organization's personal opinions on whether they think politicians "play fair". This link contributes nothing useful or relevant to the article.

Having this link makes about as much sense as adding "http://www.fiberal.ca/" to the article on the Ontario Liberal Party - which is clearly inappropriate for Wikipedia.

[edit] running in 06?

In May 2005, Clement received the Conservative nomination to run in Parry Sound—Muskoka in the next federal election, against incumbent Liberal cabinet minister Andy Mitchell.

is this guy a masochist or what? Pellaken 10:02, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

a masochist? well he did win, didn't he?

Cabinet Minister? I was wondering how he could come so close to losing in such a conservative riding. 128.100.89.51 15:08, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

It's because Andy Mitchell was so popular with the people here. He had a way of gaining their trust and support.

[edit] Clements Unfair Physician Audit System

Why was this paragraph removed? Any by whom? [unsigned]

I didn't remove it last time, but I did this time because it's a grotesque violation of Wikipedia:NPOV. Please grind your axe somewhere else. CJCurrie 05:41, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unfair Audit System

This is the bare bones truth.

Do not remove this paragraph again.
