The Council's healthcare campaigner Adrienne Silnicki, who'll be speaking in the city, tells Tide News Prime Minister Harper keeps talking about alternative methods of healthcare delivery which is really a parallel public-private system but they don't achieve the promised results.
Silnicki warns the cuts we're now seeing in provincial healthcare are just the tip of the iceberg if the Prime Minister goes ahead with cutting 36 billion dollars in transfer payments for health a couple of years from now.
She says that translates into enough funding for 11 hospitals as well as 30 health care centres and clinics.
Silnicki will be delivering a public talk on all this at the Church of St. Andrew and St. David in Saint John on Germain Street tomorrow night at 6.
