Government tainted blood fault lines in Hep C compensation
The letter argues Canada’s tainted blood tragedy is undercompensated. It cites about 80 000 infections, estimating only 22 000 victims from 1986 to 1990 will be compensated, and criticizes Liberal policy and cutbacks. The piece questions timing, responsibility, and political motives behind the compensation scheme.

Misuse of Employment Insurance funds prompts letter to Martin
Bob LaVallee, president of Mackenzie district labor group, urges Paul Martin to restore EI funds to the Employment Insurance Fund and relax eligibility, arguing the surplus was used to balance the budget and that unemployment remains high under Liberal policies. He calls for returning funds to their intended purpose and restoring the Unemployment Insurance name.
