It solves the issue of people who own companies in the field of healthcare being connected to members of the UCP, so when they privatize these services, it's those same members who benefit. This is the kind of policy that really pairs well with legalizing gifts to MLA's from private corporations. link

These folks want to make more money, and they have the influence they need to make that money. In 2025, I can't help but wonder why any company would ever invest in trying to build a good sustainable business when lobbying a corrupt government is a sure thing. Why would anyone with the capital ever risk losing that capital when they don't have to?
