Cathy Scofield-Singh is running in the federal election for the Liberal Party. She says one of the main things her party wants to address is to keep moving forward.
“We need to get in place a national pharma care plan, we need to improve mental health support, and we need to put more money into the pockets of Canadians. We need to continue addressing getting clean drinking water, not just for the first nations but for the metis and for all the rural Manitobans, whose infrastructure is now crumbling. We need to get them upgraded and replaced, which will create new jobs for people, which will put more money into their pockets again, which more money into the municipalities, which puts more money into the governments.”
One main issue Scofield-Singh has been hearing from seniors, low and middle-income Canadians is a national pharma care plan.
“It’s difficult for them when they have to decide between paying for their bills or paying for medication. They know that when they aren’t healthy it affects their overall pocketbook, health, and emotionally and physically. Having more money in their pockets is a big thing as well as growing the economy.”
The election date is next Monday, October 21st.
