HOW THE PARTIES RESPONDED TO OUR DEMANDS

On September 11, CARP and the Ontario Citizens Cancer Coalition (OCCC) sent a letter to the leaders of the three major political parties contesting the Ontario election. The letter asked for a firm commitment to bring Ontario to parity with BC on fully funding the newer intravenous cancer drugs, and to parity with Quebec on funding of PET scans.
