520 |aWhen Parliament passed the Canada Health Act in 1984, it was one of the few pieces of legislation ever unanimously approved by federal politicians. In the years since, the Act has grown to be regarded by many as a symbol of what it means to be Canadian. As a former auditor general once said, "To many Canadians, the Canada Health Act provides for a healthcare system that helps to define this country. The Act symbolizes the values that represent Canada; it articulates a social contract that defines healthcare as a basic right."
