Adjournment Proceedings
An adjournment debate on enforcing the Canada Health Act in response to Alberta’s expansion of private, pay-for-access health care. Gord Johns of the NDP said a province is moving toward a private model that breaks the rules of public health care and pressed the federal government to enforce the law now, saying the NDP is the party standing up for public health care. Parliamentary Secretary Ryan Turnbull replied that the government defends public health care, works with provinces as they try new approaches, but expects them to follow the Canada Health Act and be accountable for federal health funding, and said it is working closely with Alberta on compliance.Written by AI from the debate.
