"Excerpt: Last month, after Smitherman announced OHIP would again cover
the cost of sex-change operations, Tory said in passing to Smitherman
that he had met transsexuals and felt empathy for their plight.
The Liberal later claimed in the House that Tory had assured him the
Conservatives supported the controversial move, which the PC leader
emphasized is not the case."
