On private health care, the Supreme Court doesn’t want to hear it. The Hub Roundtable discusses the fallout

This week’s Hub Dialogue Roundtable discusses the implications of the Supreme Court’s recent decision not to hear the Cambie case about access to private health care clinics. Is this a major setback for proponents of private delivery in Canada’s public health care system? We also discuss a big sole-source contract that went to a global consulting firm during the pandemic. Is it another sign of Canada’s diminished state capacity?
