Hehr working on his ‘interactions’ after another complaint about rudeness:

After another complaint about his behaviour, Minister for Sports and Persons with Disabilities Kent Hehr said today he is working on “improving his interactions.”

A wife of a disabled veteran told the Chronicle Herald that Hehr, the former minister for veterans affairs, made inappropriate comments in the summer of 2016.

Kim Davis quit her job as a college instructor to care for her husband, who served in Bosnia, was suicidal and suffered from severe PTSD. Davis told the Herald that when she talked to Hehr about her experiences, he told her Veterans Affairs Canada does not have an obligation to her — because it was her choice to marry her husband.

Just last week, Fiona Sampson, a thalidomide survivor, said that Hehr belittled thalidomide survivors at a meeting in October. Hehr said he offered the group an apology.

But when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was asked about Hehr today, he initially said Hehr also apologized to Davis — when, in fact, Hehr actually denied the allegation, according to reports.
