Petition Text

Petition to the Government of Canada

Whereas:

• Canada’s single-payer healthcare system faces long wait times, overcrowded emergency rooms, and healthcare worker shortages, with 23,746 people dying while waiting for surgeries in one year, and Ontario spent $212 million in one year sending patients to U.S. medical centres;

• Canada already relies on privately delivered care in family medicine, diagnostics, long-term care, dental, vision, and other services; however, federal and provincial rules restrict private payment, insurance, competition, and patient choice for many medically necessary services;

• Private-sector participation could increase capacity, reduce wait times, attract investment, modernize facilities, and improve working conditions for healthcare workers, and many peer countries with universal healthcare allow mixed public-private models while maintaining public coverage; and

• The federal government administers the Canada Health Act and provides major health transfers to provinces.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:

1. Undertake a comprehensive study on expanding private-sector participation, patient choice, mixed delivery, and private insurance in Canada’s healthcare system;

2. Examine international universal healthcare models that include private delivery, private insurance, or mixed options;

3. Assess whether greater competition and private-sector participation could improve wages, recruitment, retention, and working conditions for healthcare workers; and

4. Table a report in Parliament outlining options to reduce wait times, increase capacity, protect universal access, and improve healthcare outcomes for Canadians.
