Posted on Oct. 22: McMaster students voice concerns with health minister Tony Clement

[img_inline align=”right” src=”http://padnws01.mcmaster.ca/images/healthminister.jpg” caption=”Students with Tony Clement”]Students from McMaster University went one-on-one with Tony Clement, minister of health and long-term care, at a dinner reception hosted by the Hamilton-West Riding Association.

Geared towards the upcoming election and held at downtown Hamilton's Venetian Club, the evening provided local residents the opportunity to voice their concerns to both the minister and local riding association.

“We're here to represent the concerns of post-secondary students, both at McMaster and around Ontario” says Rob Leone, McMaster Progressive Conservative Association president, “and we will continue to commit to fighting for those concerns in the upcoming election.”

Clement spoke about focusing on core right-wing values and addressed concerns about the opposition Liberal's current funding promises.

Leone says that in the months leading to the next election, the McMaster PC Association will be holding policy roundtables in order to get a true representation of what students desire for their future.
