The Council of Canadians is fighting for a Canada Health Accord that protects and extends public health care in Canada.
We say:
- No to inequality and privatization
- Yes to a 10-year accord with six per cent increases, as well as pharmacare, continuing care and dental care
- Yes to at least 25 per cent federal funding
- Yes to public solutions
- Yes to a single omnibus accord that strengthens our public system
Recently, we have intervened at the Council of the Federation meeting in Victoria (January 16-17), participated in a health care lobby on Parliament Hill (November 30-December 1), organized around the health ministers meeting in Halifax (November 24-25), raised concerns during the Ontario provincial election (October 6), commented in the media on the Canadian Medical Association annual general meeting in St. John’s (August 19-21), asked people to vote for public health care in the last federal election (May 2), and much more.
Look for us at a major health care intervention on July 25-27 at the Council of the Federation (provincial and territorial first ministers) meeting in Halifax.
