Conservatives promise to spend $1.5 billion to buy new medical imaging equipment

Scheer says a Conservative government would buy MRI and CT machines to replace aging ones, which he says would reduce wait times for those tests.

He cites a Conference Board of Canada report that found there are excessive wait times for those tests, which is costing the economy billions of dollars.The Conservatives say the investment would give provinces more spending flexibility, with the federal government footing the bill for replacing out-of-date medical imaging equipment.

Scheer is also highlighting his promise to maintain and increase the Canada Health Transfer, which provides long-term health-care funding to the provinces and territories.Conservative leader Andrew Scheer makes a campaign announcement in Saint John, N.B. on Friday Sept. 20, 2019.

And then they’ll make Canadians pay for the new equipment in extra fees which Scheers crony buddies will profit from.

Haven't got nurses and docs to run what we have. This is a joke.

The only thing that Scheer should be doing right now, is attacking Trudeau over and over again over Trudeau being a racist.

That's right! What else will be cut to pay off your corporate buddies. We have heard that message before. Shut off..

Andrew Scheer is a fake. When elected he will do worse things than Steven Harper

Sounds very good. What else will be cut to fund this?

By the time they are ordered and delivered, we will have already seen right through you.

The disenfranchisement of the populace towards the status quo should be the main election topic

Will Scheer promise to reverse the health transfer cuts that happened under Trudeau in 2017?
