"the advisory committee appointed by Ontario had urged anyone over 42 or morbidly obese be excluded from government-subsidized in-vitro, given statistics showing their chances of getting pregnant are slim".

$50 million is an acceptable amount for this kind of initiative.

I know quite a few couples who can't have children the conventional way and there is nothing wrong dedicating this to them.

I can understand if you still live in some primitive prarie stronghold if you feel differently.

Why is IVF a waste Loc?

Why should it take precedence of cancer drugs and treatments?

If you can't have kids, you have options. Adoption or pay for the treatment yourself.

Why bother, you are obviously a self entitled idiot.

Who said you can't have sustainable spending and include this?

This is not a large expenditure.

This is not about healthcare, it's about pandering,

I don't see it as pandering at all.

There are people who should legitimately have access to these services.


And believe, this is coming from a guy who thinks we do have an overpopulation problem.

There's lots of seniors with money stashed in the mattress, doing nobody any good. Take it from them and make more taxpayers....sounds good to me.

I could be wrong but I believe Loc wants to keep our birthrate low so we need to take in more Muslim immigrants in order to keep the economy moving

Looks like he and the pope agree on how to be fruitful and multiply.

This is not a large expenditure.
If it is not a large expenditure, free yourself from some of your millions and be a philanthropist.
$50m here, $20m there, etc. adds up.

If you have the right priorities, you can manage these things.

That's why I agree with the point on Liberals not managing budget properly, yet can also see the value of this program.
