In making her announcement, Minister of Social Development Stillwell stated:  "“We’re not changing who we are or what we stand for or what our core values are".

Truer words were never spoken, Ms. Stillwell. 
 
The only words I would use to describe her, both as a Minister of the Crown, as an MLA, and as a human being.....are.....unkind, uncharitable, mean, small minded, lacking in common decency. 

Last year Ms. Stillwell announced a  $50  increase in some welfare rates, but that if the recipient wanted to keep that, they would give up their subsidized bus pass.

She stated at the time that most people were on social assistance temporarily, when in fact statistics from your own Department show that this is not the case. Most are unemployable, are children, or disabled and cannot work.  Cant you read? 

And this from a politican who is involved in olympics, swanning around the globe on the monies provided by taxpayers. 

Let them eat cake indeed. Ms. Stillwell

Most vile Minister ever.
