The idea is to enhance cancer care locally so residents would no longer be required to travel to Kelowna and other communities for radiation treatment.
Granted, the NDP is only eight months into a 48-month term, but under questioning by local B.C. Liberal MLAs Todd Stone and Peter Milobar, Horgan has finally conceded the cancer clinic is actually part of his government’s 10-year plan.
Of course, that is not what Horgan said on Oct. 17, 2020, exactly one week before voters went to the polls.
On that day at Thompson Rivers University, Horgan was asked if the promise of a cancer clinic for Kamloops would be fulfilled within the four-year mandate of his government if it won the election (which is did, with a decisive majority).
