Ontario DM of Labour George Thomson indicates positive things his Ministry is doing, indicates need for more action

Thomson, when a judge, had been the main author of the Report of the Ad Hoc Committee on Environmental Hypersensitivity Disorders (note plural). He told Brown, in an elevator at the Ministry of Labour offices in Ottawa, that DM?s of Health were continuing to go against the findings of the report, which included the statement that the position "all the identified patients are emotionally ill" was "clearly untenable." As he did later as Deputy Attorney General of Canada, Thomson tried to forward the issue from within his area of responsibility, but he was reluctant to point out, during his entire period of involvement, specifically how others were contributing to preventable harm, including deaths. Doubtless this stemmed from a commitment to "taking the high road," but it left children and other vulnerable persons vulnerable to exclusion, injury and unnecessary death.
