Adjournment Proceedings
An adjournment debate on health care in the Similkameen—South Okanagan—West Kootenay area, where the Conservative member said emergency rooms are closing, a hospital is losing neurologists, and thousands of trained doctors in Canada cannot practise because of licensing barriers; she asked the government to create a program to quickly license those doctors. The Liberal parliamentary secretary replied that provinces regulate doctor licensing, said the Conservatives’ proposal is not realistic at the national level, and pointed to federal measures such as encouraging provinces to recognize foreign credentials, a $5 billion fund for hospital projects, and the dental care program for seniors. The Conservative member said the government is out of touch with rural and aging communities and repeated her call to adopt her party’s plan. The Liberal member asked whether she had approached her province about accessing the federal fund and noted the Conservatives voted against the dental program.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
