National health program urged by Dr Gordon Bates
Dr Gordon Bates of the Health League of Canada calls on Ottawa to lead a national health education drive, hold regular conferences with provinces, and craft nation wide health programs. He argues provinces bear sickness costs, while federal action would accelerate reform, noting uneven milk pasteurization, varying infant mortality, and partial disease elimination across provinces. Public opinion, he says, can shape policy, and the time to act is now.
