Health Minister Jane Philpott discusses crisis in Attawapiskat and assisted dying bill
This week on The House, we put Canada's health care system under the microscope with Health Minister Jane Philpott. How will the government address the mental health crisis in Attawapiskat and make access to health services equal for all Canadians?
We also speak with the minister about the new assisted dying legislation and how the federal government plans to work with the provinces on a new health accord.
Then, constitutional law professor Daniel Turp is taking the government to court — the former Bloc Québécois MP is demanding a judicial review by the Federal Court of Canada to block a controversial $15-billion deal to sell military equipment to Saudi Arabia. He joins us to explain his opposition to the deal and why he thinks Canada should back out of the contract.
Is transparency just a budgetary buzzword, or is the Liberal government putting its money where its mouth is? Former Parliamentary Budget Officer Kevin Page is here to discuss transparency and federal budgets.
With Manitobans heading to the polls on Tuesday, the CBC's polls analyst Eric Grenier crunches the numbers and looks ahead to the election. Will the provincial NDP and Greg Selinger hold onto power?
Finally, our In House panelists Susan Delacourt and Joel-Denis Bellavance break down this week's biggest political stories.
