Hampton Applauds Resignation

Kenora Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton is applauding the resignation of Ontario Health Minister David Caplan.

Caplan stepped down in advance of the auditor general's report on e-Health.

Hampton says the minister's resignation is long over due.

"People have been asking questions about what's going on at e-health for six or seven months," says Hampton. "It shouldn't have taken an auditor's report. Any person who was awake and thoughtful on the switch would have seen what was going on and would have taken action."

The health portfolio will now be held by Children and Youth Services Minister Deb Matthews.
