children in the paediatric cardiac surgery what i do we All after Public sector salaries were disclosed this Thorfinnson is the Bam Bino of our last at age Rod son was paid by the ers of Manitoba to manage the incredible shrinking Hospital on William that More Money than the pre Mier of the mayor of Winnipeg and the chief of police Winnipeg chief David earns having recently renegotiated an initial con tract that paid him a Mere her worship Susan Thompson earns and Gary Filmon made less than the mayor last his salary was mind that Doest count the Buick Lasabre the province supplies the but its a Fivey Earold so who counting by youve noticed an inverse More responsibility equals less a curious state of dont you think i was curious about some other matters surrounding the Thorfinnson salary but the Man who was recruited from 12 years ago to be pres ident of the Hsc always Heads for the cottage when it gets hot in so i called him at Lake of the and started by asking about the that
