Tell Trudeau and Duclos: Protect Public Healthcare

The federal and provincial governments are coming together next week for talks about how to better support our deteriorating healthcare system.¹

As Trudeau and the Health Minister go into these meetings, we need to make sure they don't just write a blank cheque to provinces — but attach conditions that will protect public healthcare.

If we flood their inboxes with thousands of messages right now we could help convince them to negotiate so the deal doesn't allow public money to be funnelled into private, for-profit healthcare, but instead builds thriving and resilient healthcare systems.

Send a message to Prime Minister Trudeau and Health Minister Duclos now to protect public healthcare.

To Prime Minister Trudeau and Health Minister Duclos,

I am excited to hear that you're coming together with the provinces to hammer out a healthcare funding deal that will address the multiple crises our healthcare systems are facing.

Because of chronic underfunding, and undervaluing healthcare workers, we're seeing a healthcare crisis like never before. In response, many Premiers have plans to funnel public money to private, for-profit clinics.

This is a band-aid solution to our healthcare crisis. Extensive research shows that privatization results in poorer quality care. These efforts will divert vital resources from our public healthcare system, and I’m deeply worried that it will open the door to a two-tier healthcare system where the care you receive is dependent on the size of your wallet.

Please ensure that the healthcare agreements you make with provinces support a robust and thriving public healthcare system. Make a deal with the provinces that doesn't allow any public money to be funnelled towards private healthcare but towards building a thriving and resilient public healthcare system that works for us all.

Sincerely,

Send to

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos
