Ontario taxpayers especially did not like the huge $25,000 per month contracts handed to personal friends like Gordon Haugh.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"505245\" data-originallang=\"en\">Today the minister is up to his old tricks in Ottawa, handing yet another $25,000 contract to Gordon Haugh.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"505246\" data-originallang=\"en\">Maybe the <a data-HoCid=\"78772\" href=\"/politicians/tony-clement/\" title=\"Tony Clement\">health minister</a> does not realize that he has an obvious priority that has yet to be fulfilled.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"505247\" data-originallang=\"en\">Perhaps we will see in today's budget if he has actually been able to get something, anything, done on the Conservative promise to take action on wait times and do something positive for the health care system in Canada. Or, is that triplet going to remain as ineffective in Ottawa as he was in Ontario?</p>",
