With the unveiling of the 2024 federal budget Tuesday, Canadians may be anxiously awaiting insights into the plans for tackling the strains on the health-care system.
just around the corner, Canadians may be anxiously awaiting insights into the government’s plans for tackling the ongoing strains on the nation’s health-care system.But amid a backdrop of doctor shortages and enduring wait times in emergency rooms, the Canadian Medical Association warned that without proper investment from all levels of government, the country’s health-care system will continue to struggle to meet the needs of patients.
Ross acknowledges there are a lot of competing priorities in the budget, such as education, housing and food security, but believes all of these sectors tie together with health. “The ability of a child to get a healthy meal, how that changes their health, how they develop a taste for healthy food like vegetables and fruit, it changes their whole life,” Holland said. “And it means that this wave of childhood mental health that we’re seeing, we can push back against that. That’s going to save us so much money and it’s going to mean so many good outcomes for our youth.
He added that despite its flaws, he believes Canada already has an “outstanding, if not the best health system in the world.”
