9月13号，唐民凯宣布$18亿的医护拨款承诺，然而他知道他不可能兑现。“新民主党采用哈珀的预算，急于在短短6个月时间内消除赤字，唐民凯不可能提供新的长者医护拨款。”联邦自由党温哥华中区候选人Hedy Fry说，“他将不得不背弃承诺，进行削减。”
唐民凯已经背弃他的医护拨款诺言：“因为新民主党党领唐民凯誓言要在平衡预算基础上发誓支付其他昂贵的竞选承诺，他只得背弃其恢復$360亿省医护转移拨款的承诺。”(2015年8月27日，《加拿大通讯社》)
“唐民凯嘴上说得好听，背后却没有实际内容。他的政治经验教会他在任何事情上都玩弄政治。”Fry表示，“本次大选是在投资我们的经济发展和社区；与哈珀和唐民凯的削减、背弃承诺之间作出抉择。唐民凯作了错误的选择。”
Mulcair cannot deliver on seniors’ health care promise
On September 13, Thomas Mulcair made a $1.8-billion health care promise that he knows he cannot keep.
“By adopting Stephen Harper’s budget and rushing to eliminate the deficit in just six months, Mulcair can’t possibly deliver on new funding for seniors’ health care,” said Liberal candidate for Vancouver Centre, Dr. Hedy Fry. “He will have to break his promise and impose cuts.”
Mulcair has already backed off his health care spending promises:

“Thomas Mulcair talks a good game but there’s no substance behind it. His political experience has taught him to play politics with everything,” said Dr. Fry. “This election is a choice between investment in our economy and communities, or Harper’s and Mulcair’s cuts and broken promises. Thomas Mulcair has made the wrong choice.”
