Prime Minister Mark Carney visited Ottawa to highlight his government’s new budget funding for Canada’s health care system, pledging more than $80 billion over the next five years to improve salaries, training, and medical resources nationwide. During the visit, Carney met with doctors, medical students, and volunteers, engaging in hands-on demonstrations of cutting-edge simulation training and new technologies like bedside ultrasounds.

Carney emphasized the importance of predictability and commitment in federal funding, saying that while global negotiations may be unpredictable, Canada can “control what’s at home.” His tour offered an inside look at how investments in health education, innovation, and technology are reshaping the nation’s medical landscape.

00:00The mayor, he's everywhere.
00:04Alright, who's in charge of me?
00:06You can just unleash me, Madame la Ministre.
00:11So, here, you see...
00:13Hello.
00:15Hello.
00:16Excuse me, there's everyone here.
00:18No, no, no.
00:19They're the people who are the beneficiaries for the chenilles of the church.
00:22Okay.
00:23So, they are just doing the work.
00:26I'm Emily.
00:27Not this course.
00:28Not this course.
00:29I'm taking this course.
00:30I'm from BC.
00:32This is our instructor.
00:34Pleasure.
00:35Nice to meet you.
00:36Nice to meet you.
00:37How long have you been doing the instruction?
00:38Hi.
00:39You've got that special ultrasound goo?
00:42That's alright.
00:43It's not going to hurt you.
00:44Alright, pleasure.
00:45Thanks for doing this.
00:47I'm on military.
00:48I'm in military.
00:49I'm in military.
00:50I'm in military.
00:51Fantastic.
00:52So, it's a big news.
00:55Happy Armoury.
00:56Nice to meet you.
00:57Nice to meet you.
00:58Yeah, yeah.
00:59It was big news.
01:00We're finally catching up.
01:02Starting with the salaries and the benefits, which is long overdue.
01:07So, thank you for your patience on that.
01:08No, no.
01:09But then, scaling up the actual material more broadly.
01:14It's more than $80 billion over the next five years.
01:19But, as important as that is the predictability and the commitment.
01:24So, it's just going to keep going.
01:26Same thing on the health side and health infrastructure.
01:29Nice message.
01:30Yeah.
01:31Good morning.
01:32How are you?
01:33This is what we can control.
01:34That's kind of the core message is, you know, yes, we've got to negotiate with the Americans
01:40and all that stuff.
01:41And, you can influence that.
01:42You can't control that.
01:43We can control it.
01:44Absolutely.
01:45And, let's spend more time on that and build strong at home.
01:48Wonderful.
01:49Yeah.
01:50So, okay.
01:51So, you are doing your training?
01:52Just doing some course.
01:53Some training.
01:54Some professional development.
01:55That's good.
01:56Yeah.
01:57And, you said you're from, oh, you're from USA.
01:59Yeah.
02:00Okay.
02:01I'm taking this course because I work for Wilkom's, really.
02:04Yeah.
02:05So, I need to be a little bit more prepared for low resources essentially.
02:10Yeah.
02:11Yeah.
02:12It's an extension of physical exams essentially.
02:15Absolutely.
02:16In fact, everything that we do with these courses is all physician driven.
02:19So, we train physicians to go back into their environment to be comfortable reviewing the
02:24procedures.
02:25So, anything from acute care to trans-self-heal to full A-roll courses, which are high acuity,
02:30low opportunity.
02:31All that's great because that's what we do.
02:34So, we train physicians all across the country.
02:37Okay then?
02:38Okay.
02:39Yeah.
02:40So, if you're still here, if you're still here on Monday, we're running the A-roll course
02:43this Monday.
02:44Oh.
02:45If you'd like to see that.
02:46Yeah.
02:47Excellent.
02:48Yeah.
02:49Good.
02:50Great.
02:51Thank you for coming.
02:52Nice to meet you.
02:53Nice to meet you.
02:57Thank you for being here.
03:00Thank you for volunteering.
03:01Okay.
03:02So, okay.
03:03So, okay.
03:04Give us the assessment here.
03:05The shpeel.
03:06You've got two experts and an amateur.
03:07Yeah, that's right.
03:08You've got three experts and an amateur.
03:09I'm just relaxing.
03:10Okay.
03:11So, the biggest value here is no ionizing radiation.
03:12So, it's not like CT or nuclear studies.
03:13There's no damage to tissue.
03:14Yeah.
03:15So, we're able to see directly into the human body.
03:17It works as a good thing.
03:18Yeah.
03:19Great.
03:20You're going to see what you're doing here.
03:21Thank you for having me.
03:23Thank you for volunteering.
03:24Okay.
03:25So, okay.
03:26Give us the assessment here.
03:27The shpeel.
03:28You've got two experts and an amateur.
03:29Yeah, that's right.
03:30You've got three experts and an amateur, so.
03:31I'm just relaxing.
03:33Okay.
03:34So, the biggest value here is no ionizing radiation.
03:36So, it's not like CT or nuclear studies.
03:39There's no damage to tissue.
03:40Yeah.
03:41So, we're able to see directly into the human body.
03:43It works as an excellent supplement to physical exam.
03:46So in the old days, doctors would touch or feel or percuss,
03:50whereas now we can, in real time, look inside the human body.
03:53So ultrasound used to be the province of specialized physicians.
03:56More and more, it slowly moved into being something that doctors use daily at the bedside.
04:03Your family doctor will now start using a new clinic.
04:05As an eMERGE doc, by trade, I'm an eMERGE doc.
04:09I graduated 2013, so I'm not that old, I guess.
04:13This was not a thing.
04:14Not that old.
04:14Yeah, I'd like to think so.
04:16It's very old from your perspective.
04:19This was not a thing when I finished med school as a class of 2013,
04:23but is now standard of care for the physicians I now teach,
04:26and that's a short, what are we looking at, in a 12-year interval.
04:29No emergency physician in Canada who graduates today would graduate without bedside.
04:35I would not try to take care of a critically ill patient without bedside.
04:39Really fascinating, yeah, because it really was,
04:42you go back 20 years and the province basically is, you know,
04:46like pregnancy and a bit of, like, liver, you know,
04:49like if you had a cute sense of something, right?
04:51Yeah.
04:51Right, yeah.
04:52Stethoscopes, we refer to stethoscopes as neck jewelry.
04:55They look good, but they're not actually that useful,
04:58whereas this allows me to see your heart and measure it in real time.
05:03So we wear it around the office or we wear it around the hospital.
05:06Halloween.
05:07But, yeah, but, yeah, stethoscopes, I believe,
05:11were designed 180 years ago, and that technology has not changed.
05:15So it's time for a bit of a revolution.
05:17Super neat.
05:18Yeah, so that's what we do.
05:19And how much time do you spend teaching?
05:23I spend approximately 50% of my clinical time teaching,
05:26and then I work as a nurse doctor in Saskatoon.
05:28Just to introduce myself again, I'm Dr. Jason Frank.
05:39I'm a THGP, but I'm also a PR doc.
05:41Ah, okay.
05:42You're going to have so much fun in this room.
05:43Great.
05:44So we're going to do blood pressure,
05:45but first we're going to teach you lapis-cappos surgery.
05:47Okay.
05:47All right, so I invite each of you.
05:49No pressure.
05:51No pressure at all.
05:52So why do we do this in the SimCenter?
05:54So I'm going to hold this camera here on these little posts.
05:56It's because we want our trainees,
05:59because OR time is so precious,
06:01and patients, patient safety is priority.
06:03They come here and they learn repeatedly
06:05to get all the skills down with the equipment
06:07so they can focus on the actual procedures
06:08when they're training on this.
06:10So if you're game, you can grab one of these,
06:14just like playing hockey.
06:14One of these things or the big one?
06:16Just this one?
06:17Yep.
06:17And then your job is to lift up
06:18one of these little plastic things.
06:20Oh my God.
06:21And put it on a different post.
06:22It's like a...
06:23First of all, you've got to find the field.
06:25Where's my head?
06:26Move around so you can see it.
06:27There you are.
06:27There you are.
06:27It doesn't seem long enough.
06:32And how does it open up?
06:33There you go.
06:34You squeeze it.
06:34Squeeze the trigger and it opens and closes.
06:36Yeah.
06:36So it's hard.
06:37Squeeze for close.
06:38Here, I'm going to give you a bit of a view.
06:40You're out of the field.
06:41I'm out of the field.
06:43Oh God.
06:43It's tough right now.
06:46So I think this is why...
06:48Oh, you're getting there.
06:49You're getting there.
06:50Yes!
06:50That's weird.
06:52Now, static.
06:53Okay, I got it.
06:54Yeah, we need to.
06:55Take any post.
06:57Oh, I got it.
06:58You didn't tell me about that.
07:00After this, we're going to do a cardiac bypass.
07:02Okay, this is nice.
07:05Fantastic.
07:06Oh, so close.
07:07Oh, it's so close.
07:08Oh!
07:10Sorry.
07:11All good.
07:11All good.
07:12Patient.
07:12Close enough, right?
07:14This is why they do it here.
07:15This is like an artery.
07:15Oh, I got to get that vital organ back.
07:21How much...
07:23Oh, but I'm a many...
07:27It's difficult, right?
07:29It's easy.
07:29It's easy.
07:31Okay, so how much time does the normal...
07:35The learning curve is variable.
07:38That's why we do it...
07:39How am I doing?
07:39How am I doing?
07:40You're doing fantastic.
07:42Okay, that's...
07:42You're a bit at the medical student level, but that's okay.
07:45We're going to get you there.
07:47So this is why we're in the Sim Center, because we wouldn't want to be doing this in the OR.
07:51The OR times too precious.
07:52That's tough.
07:53And patients, we want to keep sitting for it, so...
07:55There we go.
07:55Oh, yay!
07:57Fantastic.
07:59Health Minister, would you like to try it?
08:01Oh, my goodness.
08:03Oh, why not?
08:05Why not?
08:05Are you left or right-handed?
08:06No, right.
08:08There you go.
08:09You pick anyone.
08:11I'm not sure.
08:12I don't think any people surgery is going to be...
08:14Oh, she's moving pretty fast here, as I wanted to say.
08:19I'm ready for you, sir.
08:20Oh, am I taking your blood pressure?
08:22I think so.
08:23Okay.
08:25Okay, so let's start with this.
08:27Wrap it around your neck.
08:28Oh, I mean, you know, that's one way to take it.
08:32This one, she did.
08:34A little bit over there.
08:35Oh, look at this.
08:36Look at this.
08:36She's already...
08:36How many patients tell you how to do it when they're...
08:39It depends on their background.
08:41There you go.
08:42Perfect.
08:43Okay.
08:43Don't I need to be able to get...
08:44No, no, it's okay.
08:45That's okay?
08:46And then we're also going to pop this on.
08:48All these fabulous nails here.
08:49Yeah.
08:51Which finger do you want?
08:52Do you want that one?
08:52I think that one's right.
08:54Okay.
08:55Okay, so we'll just make sure we're finger leading here.
08:58Well, I don't have to pump it up anymore.
09:00No, that's old school.
09:02Here at the Sim Center, we have...
09:03This is the one we have at home.
09:05This is the one you have at home?
09:07Well, the poor one.
09:10What do you think?
09:10What do you think your blood pressure is?
09:12I think it's a little tight qualification.
09:15What do you think?
09:16But like it's like 110 over 80?
09:18Well, no, I think I mean...
09:20130 over 90.
09:2030 over...
09:2285, I hope.
09:25You've been eating a lot of fish.
09:28What are you supposed to do with these blood pressure?
09:30You're not smoking, are you?
09:31Not, not, not...
09:32Ideally, you know, low sodium.
09:34Low sodium, yeah, low sodium.
09:35Low sodium.
09:35Yeah.
09:37Perfect.
09:37We're going to pretend this is going.
09:39Your pulse...
09:39There we go.
09:40Your pulse rate's good, 74.
09:42Yeah, that's good.
09:43Could be lower.
09:44Could be lower, yeah.
09:45Yeah, your stuff's perfect.
09:47So I might get a little tighter in the arm.
09:48Oh!
09:49Oh!
09:49The doctor was a perfect.
09:51I didn't want to hurt you with the blood pressure.
09:53I had to be a little bit more aggressive putting it on.
09:57We just did it.
10:00I'm going to do it.
10:02I'm going to do it because I'm supposed to learn.
10:04You're going to grind it up, yeah.
10:05Yeah, you're going to learn.
10:07Okay.
10:09You are very young because you don't take your blood pressure.
10:12What's that?
10:13You are very young.
10:14You're not taking your blood pressure.
10:15I've taken my blood pressure.
10:16No, no, it's too...
10:17It's too loose.
10:19And, and, and, and...
10:21You have to put this here, where you have to put this.
10:31And this is why we practice at the SimCenter.
10:33Just like this in Kevin.
10:35Perfect.
10:35Does it feel nice and secure?
10:36Okay, does that feel good?
10:38Don't flex this time.
10:40That's what happened.
10:41You flexed.
10:42Okay.
10:43It's starting a game.
10:44Let's try again.
10:45Now you, see your pulse rate's up.
10:47Your pulse rate's up.
10:47See?
10:49You got a little stressed.
10:51You got a nice big deep breath in.
11:04Oh, it's still there.
11:05I need to finish it off.
11:08It sounds...
11:09So this is the standard?
11:11Okay.
11:12Yep.
11:12This is what we have available in our patient care areas, as well as here at the SimCenter.
11:15And when we're training our new nurses and our new PSWs in our pants, we want to make sure
11:23that we're using the most up-to-date technology at the SimCenter.
11:27Yeah.
11:27Oh, well.
11:29Oh, well.
11:29One-three.
11:29One-three.
11:29One-three.
11:29One-three.
11:30One-three.
11:30Very good.
11:33Let me take that off.
11:34Yes, Warren.
11:34Sit down.
11:35Don't, uh, no sudden room.
11:36He can get off.
11:37Daddy-
