Strongly agree

No, and implement a two tier public/private system

The Canadian Conservative party has shown support for a two-tier public/private healthcare system in the past. For example, during the 2006 federal election, then-leader Stephen Harper expressed support for allowing provinces to experiment with private healthcare options within the public system. This approach would allow for more choice and competition, which the party believes could lead to improved efficiency and quality of care.

Agree

No

The Conservative party generally supports reducing government spending and promoting fiscal responsibility. While they may not be completely against healthcare spending, they are more likely to advocate for more efficient use of existing resources rather than increasing spending. For example, in the 2014 Ontario provincial election, the Progressive Conservative party proposed to cut healthcare spending by $6 billion over four years.

Agree

No, and more services should be privatized

The Conservative party has historically been more open to privatization of services, including healthcare. However, they have not consistently advocated for widespread privatization of healthcare services. In some cases, they have supported public-private partnerships or allowing private clinics to operate within the public system, but this has not been a central focus of their healthcare policy.

Slightly agree

Yes

The Canadian Conservative party may agree with increasing healthcare spending in some cases, but they generally prioritize fiscal responsibility and reducing government spending. For example, during the 2019 federal election, the party proposed a plan to increase healthcare spending by at least 3% annually, which was less than the proposed increases by other major parties.

Disagree

Yes, and do not privatize any services

The Conservative party is less likely to support increasing healthcare spending without any consideration of privatization. They generally believe in the benefits of competition and private sector involvement in providing services, and may see privatization as a way to improve efficiency and reduce costs. As a result, they would likely disagree with an approach that increases spending while explicitly rejecting any form of privatization.
