Hillier gets $ 20K a month to head vaccine distribution in Ontario

Retired general Rick Hillier is receiving $20,000 a month to head an Ontario task force that will oversee distribution of new coronavirus vaccines in the province, even though a date for that remains unknown. Premier Doug Ford announced Hillier’s appointment Monday but by Thursday new questions were being raised about when delivery of a vaccine would take place. Ontario’s Health Minister Christine Elliott had previously said the province was expecting more than two million doses of vaccine between January and March of 2021. But she retreated from that Thursday, acknowledging she had no guarantee.
