May 30th, 2005: Canada, Ontario: Caplan Report fails community nurses, Ontario Nursing Association:"It is extremely disappointing to see the Report advocates a system that maintains the principles of the competitive bidding process implemented by the former Conservative government.

You can't make a mistake," Walker says." ******************************************************
