At least one Liberal MPP is questioning a decision by Health Minister George Smitherman to have taxpayers pick up the tab for sex-change operations after a 10-year hiatus.
"What I need to hear clearly – and I haven't – is what is the rationale for this?" said Niagara Falls MPP Kim Craitor, who said he's been getting a number of calls and emails from constituents. "This one sort of came out of the blue."
