<p>Hi Martha </p>
<p>Regarding your last email. I meant no disrespect for our
priests. </p>
<p>I recall your concern about the development of the MAID program

be a serious concern for us. Here is an update of the program. </p>

<p>We are learning that Canada’s once
justifiably admired health care system is now in shambles.
Waiting lists even for routine interventions are unbearably
long.</p>
