Ontario and P.E.I. have reached agreements in principle on the health-care funding offer made by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau at the first ministers' meeting in Ottawa earlier this month.
Speaking at the town hall, Trudeau said that while the federal government is not going to micromanage provincial health-care systems, it does want to ensure a standard of care.
Trudeau said that means empowering provinces to tackle the challenges in their respective jurisdictions however they see fit, while keeping them accountable to the taxpayer. I want to thank the federal government for agreeing to Premier @fordnation’s request to build in reviews to ensure sustainability and certainty. This additional funding will help us connect people to convenient care closer to home.See my full statement below⬇️ pic.twitter.com/m5mYRSo5jFManitoba Premier Heather Stefanson is the current head of the Council of the Federation, which represents the premiers.
