They want it to remain public but they're dissatisfied that they don't get health care in a timely manner. Recognize the problem? It's Canadian health care rationing wait lists. How do you propose the Canadian Government solves that problem?

Which is lower than the national average which many surveys put satisfaction between 86 to over 90 percent.

I am also not is some sort of fantasy land. I live here and have a lot of experience with the system.
Even if Léger is based in Quebec, this was a cross-Canada poll.

Léger are one of Canada's more reputable polling outfits.
