CTV News has a report that Stephen Harper today vowed to commit $250,000,000 to the fight against cancer.
With both Liberal Leader Paul Martin and NDP Leader Jack Layton taking a break from the hustings on Saturday, Conservative Leader Stephen Harper used the election spotlight to promise $250 million over five years to help fund the battle against cancer.
Harper pledged that the annual $50 million in funding would bankroll the Canadian Strategy for Cancer Control (CSCC), a network of all major cancer organizations and stakeholders, including the Canadian Cancer Society.
Wow, he’s even firing both barrels on Saturday - Can it continue until January?
