BREAKING: PM Trudeau presents premiers $196B health-care funding deal, including $46B in new funding
This new cross-Canada offer includes both increases to the Canada Health Transfer as well as working on bilateral deals with each province and territory, with an expectation that in order to access new federal dollars, provincial and territorial governments have to commit to new transparency and accountability requirements.
$150 million over five years for the Territorial Health Investment Fund to help cover medical travel and the cost of health care delivery in the North; and While the prime minister met the premiers behind closed doors, federal officials provided reporters a technical briefing on the plan.Ahead of the meeting, Trudeau said that while Canadians are proud of the universal public health-care system, it hasn't been delivering up to the level expected.
Overall there was a sense of optimism coming from the premiers—who put their heads together ahead of their meeting with Trudeau—that the two sides finally were able to meet to discuss how to address Canada's strained health-care systems.
