Mr. Speaker, northern families are struggling to find doctors and nurses, yet this budget would do nothing to solve that problem.
Dr. Roger Strasser, the dean of the Northern Ontario School of Medicine, said:
Just providing financial incentives are not enough to turn around the shortage of doctors and nurses in rural and remote areas.
Why are Conservatives ignoring health specialists and northern families?
Why did the Conservatives reject the NDP's practical plan to increase the number of family doctors and nurses in rural Canada?
