But despite the differences in approach between the present and the former Ministers of Health, Bernard says there is no beef between them.
According to him, Minister Michel Chebat has been a great assistance in helping Bernard to get settled into his new seat. Here's how he put it:
Hon. Kevin Bernard, Minister of Health and Wellness
"Myself and Minister Chebat we are great colleagues. There is no animosity on my part, on his part. In fact, just before this interview I was on the phone with Minister Chebat, we have great communications. So, I can only expect that will continue and like both of us shared when we sat down together that we are here to work with each other. He understands as well what were some of the challenges and he is sharing some of his experiences with me and where we can make better improvements on some of those things. So, there is no such animosity. In fact, I reached out and he has reached out to ensure that he offers that hand of friendship and support and that's what I am doing. One thing I can tell you and anybody will tell you, I am able to mend fences with anybody, I am able to build relationship with people and that is one of the things that I think will help me to move this ministry forward."
