The proposed tax was criticized by both Quebecois politicians and those outside the province. Liberal Party of Quebec leader Dominique Anglade said the tax would create a “breach” in the universality of access to health care for each citizen regardless of economic status.
Alberta Premier Jason Kenney called the proposed tax “inhumane and unethical, and certainly un-Canadian,” and assured his province that Alberta would be taking no such action.
