Canadians value their publicly-funded, universally-accessible health care system. Unfortunately, the previous Liberal government cut health care funding while patient wait times almost doubled. Conservatives have made historic increases in health funding and patient wait times are finally getting shorter.
Conservatives are improving Canada’s health care system to build a stronger, safer, better Canada.
The Conservative Record
 | Signed Patient Wait Time Guarantee agreements with all provinces and territories |
| Implementing the 10-Year $41.3 billion Federal/Provincial Plan to Strengthen Health Care |
| Provided $612 million in new funding to help provinces reduce patient wait times |
| Established the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer with $260 million in funding over five years to implement a national cancer strategy |
| Provided $300 million to protect women from cancer of the cervix |
| Increased funding for new training spaces to address the shortage of doctors, nurses and other health care professionals |
| Invested $400 million in the Canada Health Infoway to develop electronic health records and reduce medical errors |
The Liberal Record
 | The previous Liberal government cut health funding and patient wait times nearly doubled. |
| Liberals slashed $25 billion from the Canada Health and Social Transfer and created a health care funding crisis for every province and territory in the country. |
| Liberals failed to address the severe shortage of doctors, nurses and other critical health care professionals. |
The NDP Record
| The NDP voted against all new funding for heath care contained in the Budgets of 2006 and 2007. |
The Bloc Record
| The Bloc talks a lot about health. But what can they actually do other than talk? With the BLOC, we can’t achieve anything. |
For Canadians, the choice is clear: strong leadership and better care with the Conservatives or weak leadership and worse care with the Liberals.
