Another news conference crashed

A doctor attempted to interrupt Bal Gasol, Minister of State for Sport, yesterday.

While two conservative ministers were speaking, Ottawa family doctor Doug Gruner interrupted the announcement yelling at the men.”I’ve been a physician for almost 20 years, I can tell you as a doctor on the front line of health care, that these refugees are going to be incredibly affected by these cuts,” he said. Gruner said he didn’t want to interrupt Whitfield’s announcement because he’s a big fan of the “amazing athlete” and he wept when the triathlete won a silver medal in Beijing in 2008. ”I didn’t interrupt the flag ceremony, I didn’t interrupt anyone else except for the minister right now,” he said.
