<br />
In December 2004, Med-Emerg was advised that PWGSC had awarded a contract to Calian Technologies Ltd. (Calian) for medical staffing services to the Canadian Forces, Department of National Defence. This contract replaced a contract then held by Med-Emerg, which expired March 31, 2005.<br />
<br />
The CITT upheld three of the six grounds of complaint and determined that PWGSC introduced unpublished and ambiguous evaluation criteria to the evaluation process. As a remedy the Tribunal has awarded Med-Emerg its reasonable costs. The findings of the CITT are subject to appeal by any party to the Inquiry, for up to 30 days. At this time Med-Emerg is evaluating its options.<br />

<p>---<br>These days, if you are not confused, you are not thinking clearly. Mrs. Irene Peters

At least it's a small acknowledgement by our Liberal Party masters that the public health care system sucks. They're probably only doing this because as an employer, the gov't could get sued by these people for failing to provide care - something of that nature, it's surely not because the Liberals give a crap about police or military personnel. The public at large doesn't matter, they'll be told that everything will be fine if they vote Liberal - and they'll believe it!

Personally, I think that's backwards. It's not an endorsement of the Private care system or judgement of the public system, I think it's a systemic problem that they can't keep the Doctors that they train because they dont pay wages that are comparable to civillians.

Yes, you can join the Military, get your Doctorate in Medicine, then serve (I think) 6 years of your time paying the military back for your education. Then you can leave for a better paying job in civillian life - without all those nasty student loans and debt.

Truth is, the money`s there to make the public system work. The political will isn`t. Is the public will there? Time will tell.
