Sharice Billet-Niedermeyer can't understand why all of the sudden the Union Hospital is front and centre in Moose Jaw "water cooler" talk.

 

She's fed up with what she calls the "back and forth squabbling" between the Sask. Party and NDP candidates in Moose Jaw North.

Liberal candidate in Moose Jaw Wakamow Sharice Billet-Niedermeyer feels the upgrades to the Union Hospital should have been completed long before the election campaign.

She even accuses a couple local candidates of using the upgrades as a vote-grabber.

"That hospital has been getting older for years and obviously everybody else has just ignored it until campaign time. I was a patient in that hospital last year. I didn't need to tour it because I know exactly what's going on there and I'm also a health care worker and those staff people over there need help, they need a clean environment, they need the equipment to do their job properly."

If re-elected the NDP promising the project would be complete within 4 years. Sask. Party candidate Warren Michelson says a project of that size couldn't be finished that soon but he does call it a number one priority.

Earlier this year, local doctors and health care professionals started a public campaign to get the provincial government to start the upgrades to the hospital.
