Healthcare
Canadians want our health care system to be there when they or their families need it. Since 2006, Stephen Harper’s Conservative Government has taken action to improve our health care system by introducing practical and achievable steps to deliver real results for Canadian families.
Conservatives are improving Canada’s health care system to build a stronger, safer, better Canada.
The Conservative Record
 |
Working with provinces to reduce surgery and test wait times. |
|
Establishing the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer to improve cancer research. |

The Liberal Record
 |
Liberals cut health funding while patient wait times got longer. |
|
Liberals slashed $25 billion from the Canada Health and Social Transfer and created a health care funding crisis for every province in the country. |
|
Liberals failed to address the severe shortage of doctors, nurses and other critical health care professionals. |
|
Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff has yet to tell Canadians his ideas for health care. |
For Canadians, the choice is clear: a proven track record and better care with the Conservatives or weak leadership and worse care with the Liberals.
