Full campaign schedule on Monday

Last Updated: Monday, December 5, 2005 | 8:02 AM ET

Every major party leader has a full schedule on Monday after a slower weekend.

NDP Leader Jack Layton was the busiest on Sunday, campaigning in British Columbia, where he focused on health care.

"Both the Liberals and Conservatives will make people pay more for their health care. You'll use your credit card more instead of your health card to get service," said Layton.

Liberal Leader Paul Martin and Conservative Leader Stephen Harper had lighter schedules on Sunday. Martin made a brief appearance in Ottawa, while Harper took the day off.

Today, Martin is in St. John's where he'll give interviews and make a speech at the St. John's Board of Trade. Then he goes to Saint John, N.B., in the afternoon.

Harper is in Ottawa where he's expected to announce his party's platform on child care. Later, he'll fly to St. John's.

Layton will attend a rally in Toronto then fly to Montreal.

And Gilles Duceppe is in Montreal to announce the Bloc's cultural and ethnic platform today.

On Sunday, Layton warned private clinics that charge for services are springing up around the country. The NDP, he says, doesn't want to shut them down, but wants to make sure public money doesn't go to them.

"Our focus is to keep public health-care dollars going to public and non-profit facilities," he said. "What happens with people in their own relationship financially is up to them."
