Reality Check – Pierre Poilievre voted again and again to cut health care « Canada’s NDP

September 24, 2024 at 5:45 am  Federal, Politics

Tuesday morning, Conservative Pierre Poilievre bizarrely dared Jagmeet Singh to find examples of Poilievre voting to cut Canadians’ health care. Challenge accepted, obviously.

Poilievre stood next to Stephen Harper and voted to cut $43,5 billion in health care transfers to provinces and territories in 2012.

In 2023, he voted to cut funding for surgery and emergency room wait times by $196.1 billion.

Poilievre also voted to stop the dental care program, and the pharmacare program that will start by providing free diabetes and birth control medications.

“Conservatives cut. Next up, Pierre Poilievre and his Conservatives want to cut dental care and stop Canadians from getting life-saving diabetes medications and contraception. Conservatives cut, and people pay the price. Literally,” said Peter Julian, NDP Health critic.
