One of those speaking up about Sudbury was David Tremblay, a support service worker in the environmental service department at Health Sciences North.
Tremblay acknowledged that people will get frustrated and upset by wait times, or by being in pain or by being on medication, but he said that is still no excuse for inappropriate or criminal behavior.
