Federal Election Special Webinar – What are the Parties Saying About Healthcare and Cancer?

The webinar started with a review of the responses from each of the federal political parties received by CCSN to its federal election questionnaire. Insights were also provided about each party’s health care platform with an emphasis on how those positions might affect cancer care.  That analysis was followed by commentary from two veteran cancer patient advocates: Colleen Savage of the Cancer Advocacy Coalition of Canada and Kathy Barnard of the Save Your Skin Foundation, who discussed their interpretations of the party positions and what they might mean for patients and the cancer care  after the election.
