Caring for loved ones when they get sick

A reliable health care system.

When a loved one gets sick, you want to be sure that you can count on Canada’s health care system.

Where is the federal leadership?

Conservatives believe the federal government should have no leadership role in addressing challenges facing our health care system.  For Conservatives, it is every province and every family for themselves.

Collaboration instead of competition.

Liberals are ready to work as partners with the provinces and territories to ensure a national standard of excellence in the delivery of health services. The Liberal Party of Canada will also keep fighting so that more can be done for mental health, caregivers, home and long term care.

Liberals stand for sustainable universal public health care.

Liberals believe strongly that all Canadians deserve the same level of high quality and timely health care provided by an efficient, accountable and sustainable public health system.

  7. TV ads in hockey games or jobs for youth?

    May 16, 2013

    Earlier this spring, the Harper Conservatives faced a choice in their spending plans. They could invest in jobs for unemployed young Canadians (especially summer jobs for students).

They chose the ads. Hundreds of them.   More »
