Disappointed that the Trudeau government’s health funding offer was not bigger and for a longer term, Premier Doug Ford will sit down face-to-face Thursday with two federal cabinet ministers in Toronto to continue talks.
Ford and Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones are meeting with her federal Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos and Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc as both sides work toward inking a deal to improve a health-care system strained by the pandemic and a growing and aging population.
“We’re going to sit down today and review it and discuss it with the rest of the premiers,” said Ford. The offer of $46.2 billion more in federal funding for the provinces over 10 years was made Tuesday in Ottawa at a gathering of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and provincial and territorial leaders, and included an immediate $2 billion for overburdened children’s hospitals and emergency rooms.
