The money for B.C. includes an immediate $273 million to address urgent needs
LANGLEY, B.C. — Millions in immediate federal funding will make a difference in the"acute situation" in British Columbia's hospitals, especially in rural communities, Premier David Eby said Wednesday.
Before the announcement, Trudeau and Eby met with nursing students at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in Langley, B.C., where they visited a classroom filled with hospital beds and mannequin patients. Trudeau said the agreements are tailored for each province or territory,"but consistent among all is a joint responsibility to collect information that monitors how the health-care system is performing. So, we know that it is delivering the improvements that Canadians deserve."
B.C. Health Minister Adrian Dix said the agreement means the province will have access to even more life-saving services, closer to home. Federal Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said the agreement with B.C. is an opportunity to improve the experience of health workers and those they care for.
