Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions The official page of the Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions (CFNU). Patients and nurses need effective advocates.

We make sure that the Prime Minister, the Minister of Health, other MPs and top-levels bureaucrats know what nurses think. We also serve as an information resource - keeping nurses abreast of the issues, creative strategies, tactics, and the lessons learned is an important part of our job.

“It’s time the federal government acts to safeguard our health system. Nurses and health-care workers point to chronic understaffing and unsafe workloads as the most urgent challenges in health care in our country. Policy choices that funnel public dollars towards privatization compound these pressures.

The consequences are already being felt at the bedside.”

As CFNU President Linda Silas explains in her latest opinion piece, we know that privatization is not the answer to the health care crisis, and investments in public health are essential to protecting the timely and equitable health care Canada needs. Funding decisions made now will determine whether Canadians will continue to have access to public health care in practice, not just in theory.

The CFNU is calling on Health Minister Marjorie Michel to enforce the Canada Health Act and protect Canada’s public health care system.

Our thoughts are with the families and loved ones of those who were killed, and with everyone affected by the shooting in Tumbler Ridge. We recognize the profound impact on the community, and on BCNU members, first responders and fellow health-care workers who are providing care under extraordinarily difficult circumstances. BCNU is in contact with representatives from the Northern Health Authority and will continue working to ensure members have access to supports and available resources.

Our public health care system was founded on the belief that every single person deserves care, regardless of where they come from or how much money they have. Today, creeping health care privatization threatens this promise. Nurses are standing up for a public health care system for all.

As CFNU President Linda Silas said at today’s rally, “We know it's hard out there. If you are a patient, if you are a family member or a health care worker, it's a mess. And it is not by privatizing our system that we will fix it. It is by providing stable funding, stable staffing, respecting your health care workforce, providing pharmacare to everyone that needs it and by the list goes."
