The Leader of the New Democratic Party of Canada and the Member of Parliament for Burnaby South has been holding roundtable discussions in various locations throughout British Columbia.
Peter McCully, host of 鈥楾oday in B.C.鈥� caught up to Jagmeet Singh on Vancouver Island.
Singh says that overall, the people that he has talked to in the sessions are offering feasible solutions to healthcare issues.
鈥楾he solutions that are being proposed by some of the healthcare workers and residents are very achievable鈥�, says Singh. 鈥極ne of the solutions that we keep on hearing is the idea of a team-based healthcare approach where you go into an office with a nurse, a doctor, a physiotherapist, a dietician, a social worker to deal with the problems that people face with in a holistic way in dealing with it all together.鈥�
The NDP Leader says that they are the party of healthcare, and they are defending Tommy Douglas鈥� vision of universal healthcare across the country.
鈥楾he solution to a healthcare system that鈥檚 not working isn鈥檛 to make it two tier, isn鈥檛 to introduce more for-profit options. It is to strengthen what we have and improve what we have and expand on what we have so that it鈥檚 there for people鈥� says Singh.
In a wide-ranging interview, Singh talks about affordability issues, the Canada Pharmacare Program and Affordable Housing.
