Tom Denton a long time passionate activist for refugees and former executive director of the International Centre in Winnipeg Manitoba, and currently a part of the Refugee Hospitality House ministry, has responded to Minister Kenny's cuts to refugees health program in a letter to the Winnipeg Free Press below. The minister recently announced cuts to refugees health care. Many Manitobans have taken a stand against these cuts seen as discriminatory and divisive. To say that refugees should not get more health benefits than Canadians pits Canadians against refugees and does not encourage harmony.

Please read this letter and say your piece, how do you think this would affect refugees in your community? Do you think the Minister's argument is fair? Is Mr. Denton, bi-partisan? What is the truth and what do refugees really deserve? Thanks for participating
