Local Candidates To Debate Healthcare

Healthcare is the topic of discussion at a Sarnia-Lambton all candidates meeting Wednesday evening.

The event is co-sponsored by the Sarnia-Lambton Health Coalition and provincial nurses' associations.

Coalition spokesperson Shirley Roebuck says the federal government is responsible for the transfer of funds to the provinces and for issues like pharmacare.
