The Provincial Conservatives are calling a move by Health Minister Mike Murphy nothing more than public relations. Rothesay MLA Margaret Ann Blaney along with Leader David Alward have been calling for the resignation of Murphy in recent weeks. They say he knew about the possible closure of the Canadian Blood Services Distribution Center for close to a year, but Murphy has produced documents that show the Conservatives voted to close the facility in 2002. Blaney tells CHSJ News, in speaking with former Health Minister Elvy Robichaud, the move has been on CBS’s agenda for quite some time.
Blaney says the bottom line is, when the Conservatives left power in 2006, Canadian Blood Services was here to stay.
