6. Improve health care, and health

Tackling climate change also leads to a cleaner environment. To reduce other threats to Canadians’ health, and improve treatment when it’s needed, we will:

• Work to reduce cigarette smoking through education and taxes.
• Limit the commercialization of genetically modified crops and impose labeling of GMO products.
• Protect our universal, single-payer public health care system and ensure it works well at disease prevention and treatment.
• Promote physical activity and healthy eating, and reduced exposure to contaminants.
• Work to develop national goals for pre-natal care.
• Rebuild hospital capacity and make smarter use of it by increasing long-term-care facilities, as well as post-surgery recuperation outside of hospital, with access to nursing.
