Ms. Rachel Blaney (North Island—Powell River, NDP)
  • Oct/21/22 11:45:19 a.m.
  • Watch
Madam Speaker, hospital emergency rooms in Port Hardy, Alert Bay and Port McNeill have been closing repeatedly for the past few months because there is not enough staff to keep them open. Residents of North Island are extremely concerned that the emergency rooms will not be there when they need them. Underfunding of health care by both Conservative and Liberal governments has left rural communities behind. Will the government provide significant, stable and long-term funding for health care and address this crisis?
