Canada’s public health care landscape changed this week.
Together we sent a clear message on October 19th: we want federal leadership for better health care. Voters in 32 of B.C.’s 42 ridings elected candidates from parties that included big plans for improving public health care in their platforms, and many other ridings were close races.[1]
Now we need to push our new government to follow through on those commitments.
Things are moving fast. Trudeau has promised to meet with the provinces to negotiate a major new health agreement that will greatly influence the direction of Canadian public health care in the coming years.[2]
That means the new federal government has some big decisions to make before meeting with the premiers.
