I think it is a great idea which was spelled out publicly long ago by David Cadogan then an owner and publisher of the MIRAMICHI LEADER & WEEKEND.
However there are some unsolved problems with the new hospital, pathology iquiry not over yet and some more serious problems in the backgroung which no one would like to touch so far. Let us clear the air thoroughly and then celebrate the naming of this great facility with the name of her founder and benefactor of the Miramichi NB community.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
Mr. Justice Paul S. Creaghan’s inquiry into pathology inadequacies at the Miramichi hospital just ended and we have to wait patiently for the recommendations to be delivered by Commissioner Mr. Justsice P. S. Creaghan before the end of 2008.
Pathology and histopathology medical service are inextricably linked with the forensic medicine. Unfortunately these facts were not mentioned during the inquiry because here in NB forensic medicine either does not exist at all or is two hundred years behind the rest of the Western World of the developed Countries.
Thorough and expensive public inquiry, chaired by Mr. Justice Stephen Goudge into a pediatric forensic pathology at the Sick Children Hospital in Toronto ON. recently completed, had revealed the extent of the disaster in this very realm. Unfortunately the NB press did not report comprehensively enough about Dr. Charles Smith being scrutinized in depth nor had the mass media informed Newbrunswickers about the recommendations issued by Justice Stephen Goudge. An outsider stemming from the Old World would be prone to assert that Ontario’s forensic medicine is at least one hundred and fifty years behind Western Europe in this respect. One would then ask and what about NB? New Brunswick does not have forensic medicine at all, therefore could be easily declared two hundred years behind the level attained in UK and Western Europe, Poland included.
No wonder that a senior NB lawyer QC was not familiar with the notion: “forensic” and had asked me “what does it mean forensic?”
