I am not completely opposed to adding more privatization. There are many different ways it can be presented and there is likely one that works. It may just be necessary to compete with the US. Whether we like it or not, we are sometimes powerless being within their sphere of influence.
Canada already does have some privatization of services. It has just become detrimental to use them or to set up a practice. It is technically allowed though. If someone has the means to pay for private care, it’s easy enough to go the the US and get the service.
If there is one thing their system is good at, it is making money.
