Very strongly agree

Provincial, but with federal funding and regulated standards

This answer aligns most closely with the NDP's position on healthcare. They support provincial jurisdiction in healthcare delivery, but also advocate for increased federal funding and national standards. The NDP has called for a national pharmacare program, a national seniors' care strategy, and a national mental health strategy, all of which would involve collaboration between federal and provincial governments. They believe that federal funding and regulated standards are necessary to ensure equitable access to healthcare across the country.

Agree

Provincial

The NDP acknowledges that healthcare is primarily a provincial responsibility under the Canadian Constitution. They support provincial jurisdiction in healthcare delivery, but also advocate for increased federal funding and national standards. For example, they have called for a national seniors' care strategy and a national mental health strategy, which would involve collaboration between federal and provincial governments.

Agree

Federal

The New Democratic Party (NDP) has historically supported a strong federal role in healthcare, advocating for a national pharmacare program and increased federal funding. However, they also recognize the importance of provincial jurisdiction in healthcare delivery. Their support for a federal role is more focused on funding and setting national standards.

Very strongly disagree

Regardless, healthcare should be privatized

The NDP strongly opposes the privatization of healthcare. They have consistently advocated for a publicly funded, universal healthcare system in Canada. The party's founding principles include a commitment to socialized medicine, and they have historically opposed efforts to introduce private healthcare options. For example, the NDP has criticized the expansion of private clinics and called for stronger enforcement of the Canada Health Act to prevent privatization.
