Faculty Club 3450 rue McTavish, Montreal, QC, H3A 0E5, CA

A public debate with

Ted Schrecker (Associate Professor, Department of Epidemiology and Community Medicine, University of Ottawa) and Daniel Weinstock (Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Centre de recherche en 茅thique de l鈥橴niversit茅 de Montr茅al)

"Be it Resolved: The Canadian government should enact a special tax on the top 10% of earners, which will finance a new 'Social Determinants of Health' fund. Proceeds from this tax will be used exclusively for programs whose goal is to ensure that all Canadians have education, income, and housing necessary to have an adequate level of health and longevity. The fund will be administered by a panel of experts in the social determinants of health."
