A re-elected Liberal government, along with Liberal candidate for Brampton North, Ruby Sahota, will make sure every Canadian has access to a family doctor, to mental health services, to affordable prescription drugs, and to national pharmacare.

Canada’s health care system is a source of pride, but too many people still slip through the cracks. Today, nearly five million Canadians have no access to a family physician or a primary care team. All of us know someone who has gone through a mental health issue – but many people can’t get the help they need because it costs too much or the wait time is too long. And nearly one million Canadians skimp on food and heat to be able to pay for the medications they depend on, from insulin to inhalers.

“No one should go without the care they need because they don’t have access to a family doctor. And no one should have to give up food and heat to be able to pay for health care – whether it’s insulin, inhalers, or mental health support,” said the Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada, Justin
Trudeau.

“Brampton is in the midst of a healthcare crisis and our Federal Liberal party is stepping up to close the gaps in the health care system, and make sure people can get the care they need, when they need it most,” said Ruby Sahota.

A re-elected Liberal government will make sure Canadians can afford and access lifesaving health care.

We will improve people’s access to health care by:

Ensuring that every Canadian can easily find a family doctor or primary care team;

Setting clear national standards for access to mental health services so Canadians can get the support they need quickly, when they need it most; and

Continuing to make home care and palliative care more available to those who need it.

We will make sure everyone can afford the medications they need by:
