Ah, interesting! I guess it depends on your familiarity with Canadian politics. I don't think anyone who is following policies would think any of the parties are genuinely suggesting getting rid of public health care. That's just not really on the table. The current system here does not allow private health care for things that are covered by public health care (in most provinces), along with a bunch of other policies that effectively make private medical care less than 1% of critical medical care, and changing that is the controversial bit. Though, we do have private care for things not covered by public health ("extended medical") and private insurance for that. Though, not every voter pays attention or really knows the details of how the system works. A charitable, as you said, interpretation is that someone embedded in policy thought that part was not relevant. A less charitable take is that they are misrepresenting the issue hoping to mislead voters.
