Would O'Toole's health transfers 'without conditions' conflict with universal health care? – CTV News, September 13, 2021
Dr. Erin Strumpf, Associate Professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health is among the experts quoted by CTV News.
“…Erin Strumpf, an associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology, Biostatistics and Occupational Health at McGill University says the Conservatives are also likely pandering somewhat to Quebec. "You can’t say, I believe in the Canada Health Act and put no string attached because the Canada Health Act is a lot about strings," Strumpf said in a phone interview. At the same time, she says O’Toole does not want to tell provinces how to spend the money or direct them to certain sectors like mental health or long-term care, explaining that this kind of restriction or direction is different from the "strings" associated with the act.”
