Questions regarding the Supreme Court Ruling on Thursday
regarding Heath Care |
|
- Is there now the real likelihood that Quebec
will have one form of health care and the other Provinces and territorties a different
form of health care?
- If the answer to number 1 is yes, what does this
say about the Canada Health Act?
- Is it possible for other Provinces and Territories
to adopt in their jurisdictions a Charter of Rights that mirrors Quebec's
and therefore pursue public and private health care simultaneously given that timely
medical services are unavailable in these other jurisdictions like is happening in
Quebec?
- Why is this court which is so activist on many public
policy matters in the last several years suddenly ' split' ( made possible I understand
by one judge saying nothing) on whether the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms
have been violated in the Quebec case before them?
- If in fact Canadians have bought the idea of an activist
Supreme Court of Canada, which I personally lament but from all evidence is
the case, and that the Court has followed this activist route, is there not therefore
an obligation on the Court to show leadership and clarity rather than the confusing,
muddled, every one can read into it what one wants approach that this decision obviously
displays?
- When are we going to face up to the fact that our
system is broken and new and innovative approaches are needed rather than just more
money being thrown at the existing system?
