About 75 people attended a public meeting on the proposed new regional hospital in Corner Brook Tuesday put off by Liberal Opposition members and held at the Greenwood Inn and Suites.
A commitment from the Liberal Party of Newfoundland and Labrador to put a radiation unit in the new hospital in Corner Brook was met with a loud round of applause Tuesday night.
About 75 people, many of them Liberal supporters, attended a meeting at the Greenwood Inn and Suites hosted by the Opposition Caucus members on the proposed new hospital.
After taking those gathered through the results of a study conducted by the party over the last three months Liberal Leader Dwight Ball said, I needed to be sure before I came back to the people in this room that we came back with evidence.
Ball was referring to a statement he made during a January meeting at the hotel held by the West Coast Health Care Action Committee. During that event, Ball committed to putting a PET scanner in the new hospital if the Liberals form the next government, but couldnt say the same on the radiation unit until the party took a closer look at the issue.
We did our research, weve taken the time to do it, he said. The evidence is there to support it and, as the official Opposition, were committed to delivering radiation services to Western Memorial Hospital.
Before getting to that conclusion Ball went through the results of the study, which countered all of the PC governments reasons for saying no to putting the service on the west coast.
From the unproven model of a single unit, to the need to be located at a tertiary care centre, the challenges of recruitment and retention and finally the numbers, Ball presented information that showed none of those reasons should prevent a unit from being located here.
If we were here making this decision on emotion well all of us in the room, all of us in the province, would do this, said Ball following the meeting. But you have to base it on evidence and thats what weve been able to do over the last three months.

Liberals commit to putting a radiation unit in new hospital
SAN ANGELO, Texas Liberals advocate many wonderful things. In fact, I suspect that most conservatives would prefer to live in the kind of world envisioned by liberals, rather than in the kind of world envisioned by conservatives.
Unfortunately, the only kind of world that any of us can live in is the world that actually exists. Trying to live in the kind of world that liberals envision has costs that will not go away just because these costs are often ignored by liberals.
One of those costs appeared in an announcement of a house for sale in Palo Alto, the community adjacent to Stanford University, an institution that is as politically correct as they come.
The house is for sale at $1,498,000. It is a 1,010-square-foot bungalow with two bedrooms, one bath and a garage. Although the announcement does not mention it, this bungalow is located near a commuter railroad line, with trains passing regularly throughout the day.
Lest you think this house must be some kind of designers dream, loaded with high-tech stuff, it was built in 1942 and, even if it was larger, no one would mistake it for the Taj Mahal or San Simeon.
This house is not an aberration, and its price is not out of line with other housing prices in Palo Alto.
One couple who had lived in their 1,200-square-foot home in Palo Alto for 20 years decided to sell it, and posted an asking price just under $1.3 million.
Competition for that house forced the selling price up to $1.7 million.
Another Palo Alto house, this one with 1,292 square feet of space, is on the market for $2,285,000. It was built in 1895.
Even a vacant lot in Palo Alto costs more than a spacious middle-class home costs in most of the rest of the country.

Pipe is stacked at the southern site of the Keystone XL pipeline on March 22, 2012, in Cushing,...
Democrats and Republicans are sparring over the impact that the Obama administration's latest delay on deciding whether to approve the Keystone XL oil sands pipeline will have on the 2014 elections.
Environmental organizations and Democrats say the delay will have little effect in tight Senate races in November, while GOP-aligned groups are arguing it underscores that pro-pipeline Democrats have little power in their party.
The focus is on a handful of Senate Democrats who support the $5.4 billion Canada-to-Texas project and are running tight races in red-leaning states. Six of those incumbents -- Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, Kay Hagan of North Carolina, Mark Pryor of Arkansas, Mark Begich of Alaska, John Walsh of Montana and Mark Warner of Virginia -- recently urged President Obama to approve the pipeline.
The White House attempted to deflect attacks from Republicans and Democrats in red-leaning states who labeled the latest delay a political move.
The State Department announced Friday that it would halt an interagency review of the pipeline while it waits for the Nebraska Supreme Court to rule on the legality of the current pipeline route. The move could put a White House decision on the pipeline beyond the November elections, sparing Obama a ruling that would either upset his environmental base or jeopardize the electoral chances of some Senate Democrats.
"I know there's a great urge and has always been to make this about politics," White House press secretary Jay Carney said Monday. "But we've see along this process, along the way here, along the route, you know, a series of actions taken in keeping with past practice where the reviews are done out of the State Department."
Democrats say Keystone XL, which has has the support of some union groups and business but faces fierce opposition from environmentalists, is low on the radar for most voters.
Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a congresswoman from Florida, said on NBC's "Meet the Press" that Keystone XL wouldn't play a significant role in those Senate races, which she said serve as "referendums on the candidates running." Similarly, Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee spokesman Justin Barasky downplayed the pipeline in comments to the Washington Examiner.
"Across the country, voters are going to have a crystal clear choice between a Democrat who is fighting for women, seniors and the middle class in their states and Republicans who are pushing an anti-middle class agenda because they're bought and paid for by special interest billionaires like the Koch brothers," he said.
