We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to: 1. Require the Attorney General of Canada to conduct a forensic examination of the Canadian Medical Protective Association program for improprieties, including misappropriation of taxpayer dollars that are being used for actions outside the realm of reasonable behaviors, ethics and conflicts of interest enabling negligence in patient care, profiteering as evident in their lavish work environment and breach of trust when denying culpability in patient related harm; 2. Defund the Canadian Medical Protective Association by eliminating the rebate program and return taxpayer dollars to taxpayer patients who experience medical errors; and 3. Repeal the Act of Parliament that incorporated the Canadian Medical Protective Association diminishing the hierarchical culture and restoring public trust. ------------------------------ Health Care costs Image: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0a/Health_care_cost_rise.svg DC Stock Footage: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJynnIvkB5V1i_b ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0boCC_TKEQo
