It’s that same fighting spirit I want to bring to the NDP: audacious plans backed by serious organizing, delivering wins at the ballot box and in people's everyday lives. Become a member today:

In 2003, they were the only two MPs to endorse Jack Layton for leader. They saw what our party could be. 

That’s the tradition I want to help renew in the NDP. I’m humbled by their support.

🔴 False: Private clinics have the same quality protections as public hospitals. 🔴

The quality and safety regime in public hospitals is far superior to that of private clinics. Public hospitals have peer scrutiny and review.

At the same time as private clinics take budget money and staff away from public hospitals, they are taking the easy, non-complex, profitable surgeries and diagnostic tests while leaving the more complex, heavier care and more expensive patients behind.

The announcements in the summer ($155 million) and this week (another $125 million) are very large amounts of public money. That public money is shifted from improving capacity in our public hospitals to funding new private clinics, the vast majority of which are for-profit.
