Canada needs predictability on environment and economic policies to create a competitive advantage over the chaos being generated by the U.S. administration. That should begin by specifying what will replace the consumer carbon tax and how all the many aspects of climate policy will work synergistically to protect the environment and strengthen the Canadian economy.
The Canadian health-care system has been deteriorating over many years to the point of crisis. Holistic, proactive health policy actions are urgently required.
None of the issues affecting our health care are new. What’s new is its continuing deterioration to the point of crisis and the broadening awareness of Canadians that our vaunted publicly-funded health ‘system’ is not what it used to be.
The House Health Committee’s report is welcome, but deficient in its lack of specific recommendations on actions to alleviate the current crisis and prevent others from developing.
