Timelines

One little scrum, so much news. It’s like the Energizer Bunny of scrums. It just keeps going and going and going.

From the CBC raw video [link: http://www.cbc.ca/clips/rm-hi/nl-williams-scrum-91009.rm]

Q: Would Wade Verge maybe have gotten his information correct if he had briefing notes on what was actually going on in his constituency concerning the removal of x-ray and lab work?

Williams: Wade Verge was told by my Chief of Staff, he was told by Minister Wiseman, when he was Minister of Health, and he was told by Minister Oram as Minister of Health. Can’t do any more than that for Wade Verge.

1) Wade Verge: you thought Danny, your leader, was done insulting your intelligence with his “pfff”? Well, he wasn’t.

2) Ross Wiseman’s last full day on the job as Minister of Health – a capacity in which, with or without notes, he apparently briefed Wade Verge on the impending cuts to diagnostic services in Lewisporte – was July 8th.

Back to you, Wade, Ross, and Paul. Gee — maybe someone should have kept notes?
