Regret the Error

An article on page F3 yesterday misquoted Dr. Lara de Salaberry, who was commenting on the accumulated effects of stress and other health problems caused by the OC Transpo strike. The correct quote should have read: “Initially, I would have had to lie on an application for people to get Para Transpo.’ Dr. de Salaberry has made it clear to the Citizen that she was referring to what she would have had to do to help her patients obtain Para Transpo services but that she did not lie on any applications for Para Transpo. The Citizen apologizes to Dr. de Salaberry for publishing the incorrect quote. Link

The offending section:

While many [of her troubled patients] have simply not shown up for their appointments, others have taken drastic steps.
“Initially, I had to lie on an application for people to get Para Transpo,” said Dr. de Salaberry. “But now, it has reached the point where they qualify because the strike really is endangering their health.”

Thanks, Doug!
