National Week of Reckoning

Canadian Doctors for Refugee Care (CDFRC) is an organization dedicated to restoring the health coverage lost by refugee claimants after the cuts to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFH) by the Harper Government.  CDFRC is organizing a "National Week of Reckoning" initiative,  in which demonstrators from across the country would visit the campaign offices of Conservative candidates to demand they support the restoration of full health coverage to refugee populations on the week of October 5th to October 10th.
