Webinar – What Budget 2025 means for public health care
Canada cannot afford to not invest in public health care. Carney’s first budget, released on Nov. 4, has money for hospitals and beds but fails to support the retention of health care workers. Nor does it offer new funding for the expansion of pharmacare.
Join economist Angella MacEwen and policy analyst Steven Staples for a conversation about what the budget means for the future of public health care with the Canadian Health Coalition’s Anne Lagacé Dowson on Monday, November 10 at 12:00 PM ET on Zoom.
