Statement made on 14 December 2009 by Senator Claudette Tardif
Hon. Claudette Tardif (Deputy Leader of the Opposition):
Honourable senators, the Nursing Research Fund was wound down in March 2009 as its government funding was not renewed. These investments were just beginning to yield results. The $55 million fund, disbursed over ten years, helped improve access to, as well as the quality and safety of the health care system and benefited the health of our population.
Does the government intend to restore this important source of funding for health promotion for all Canadians?
