The Prime Minister’s remarks come a day after 13 premiers wrapped up two days of talks, united in frustration that Trudeau won’t meet with them to renegotiate funding for what they say is a ‘crumbling’ health system
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government wants to make sure billions of dollars transferred to the provinces and territories for health care will “deliver real, tangible results for Canadians” with shorter wait times and better services.
His remarks come a day after the 13 premiers wrapped up two days of talks in Victoria, united in frustration that Trudeau won’t meet with them to renegotiate funding for what they say is a “crumbling” health system. He says health care is the top cost-driver for provincial and territorial budgets and stable, long-term funding is required to “reimagine” Canada’s health system, so there’s no debate about what they would do with the additional funding.
Canadians don’t care where the money comes from, they just want the different levels of government to come together and take action, Ford told the closing news conference for the premiers’ Council of the Federation gathering on Tuesday.
