Health Care and Liberal Attacks
Iggy is trying to shift the debate to health care using American-style attack ads.
First, for a strong health care system we need a strong economy. PM Harper is the only leader with a clear, low-tax plan for jobs and economic growth. Iggy's platform contains a high-tax agenda which will very likely weaken our economy.
Second, our Conservative Government has always supported the Canada Health Act. We have increased health-care transfers to the provinces by 33 per cent, to a record $27 billion. Canada's public health care system is the only health care system that Prime Minister Harper and his family have ever used.
Third, the Liberal attacks are not true. For example, the quotation (in the Liberal ad) about scrapping the Canada Health Act was not made by Stephen Harper but by somebody entirely different. The Liberals knew this and attributed the quotation to Mr. Harper anyway. Mr. Ignatieff also fails to mention that the Liberals are the only party that had actually cut health care funding in the past.
