PETITION TO THE HOUSE OF COMMONS IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED
Whereas:
- Statistics Canada cites that approximately 4.8 million Canadians do not have a regular doctor;
- Despite the number of physicians in Canada growing, the number of Canadians without a regular doctor remains stable;
- 92 per cent of physicians work in urban centres, while just 8 per cent work in rural areas; and,
- In Victoria and Sidney, B.C., average wait time for a walk-in clinic are 92 and 180 minutes respectively.
We, the undersigned citizens and residents of Canada call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to:
- Work with all the provinces and territories in Canada to come to a holistic and fair solution to Canada's family doctor shortage.
- Presented to the House of Commons
-
