Move paves the way for a lift in transfers in the coming federal budget, but premiers still have concerns about long-term sustainability
Canada’s premiers have agreed to accept Ottawa’s offer for new health care funding, paving the way for a lift in transfers to the provinces and territories in the coming federal budget.
Ottawa offered premiers $46.2-billion in new health care funding over 10 years, a figure that is significantly less than what they had demanded. “We also recognize that it doesn’t deal with that long-term sustainability with respect to health care funding challenges that we are faced with as provinces and territories. So we will be writing the prime minister just to address some of those issues.”
