In exchange for billions in new money, provinces and territories will have to agree to reforms to improve their health care systems
Ottawa and the provinces and territories are inching closer toward a 10-year funding deal that would provide a hefty increase in federal health transfers, along with bilateral financial agreements in areas such as long-term care.
But the source said any deal would involve billions of dollars of new federal money in transfers and separate funding in bilateral agreements with provinces and territories. If a deal is concluded, the source said these jurisdictions will have more than enough money to improve their health care systems.
The Globe and Mail is not identifying the sources because they were not authorized to discuss the sensitive health care negotiations. Federal Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos and Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc have been the lead negotiators for Ottawa. On Wednesday, Quebec Premier François Legault said he also is ready to share data on the province’s health care systems, a move that will likely result in other premiers following in step.
