View from the hill: Championing care  

Wednesday, November 8th
11:45 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.

Caregiving is the next frontier of public policy in Canada. Before we can achieve meaningful policy reform, we need our elected officials and the political parties that make-up our system of government to recognize that this issue needs real attention and improvement in all areas of care. This session will feature a discussion on care policy with Members of Parliament from all parties represented in the House of Commons. They will discuss how each party perceives the issue of caregiving and guide us on how to successfully bring these issues into the public debate.
