Permanent new program, which Justin Trudeau announced as providing pandemic relief to hard-hit Canadians, would establish new standards over a five-year period

The new health transfer would help establish mental health care standards in the provinces and territories, Mr. Trudeau said, as his party promised to expand free services.

Mr. Trudeau was also asked by a reporter about decriminalizing opioids, and he said his party is willing to work with provinces such as British Columbia who are looking into such measures. “We are absolutely open to working with them in a responsible way,” Mr. Trudeau said. “But I will remind people there is no one silver bullet to counter the opioid epidemic.”

The Conservative Leader is set to make an announcement about his platform later on Tuesday, and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh will also hold a news conference.

Just another fake promise to stack on top of all the rest

Canada's real GDP is down 1.1% from last year. The economy is suffering.

curryb Yay yay yay we heard promises before just to get elected

Yup and we'll file that with the promise to plant 2 billion trees. How's that coming? Elxn44

Everything is so very micro managed by the Liberals…just increase health transfers to Provinces and let them manage per their responsibilities

Here comes more fake promises! Vote Trudeau out!

Promised that in 2015

More attempted vote buying promises from the PM who has had 6 years to deal with things like this, but chose not to. yourwordmeansnothingJustine

All these piecemeal initiatives seem made up in the fly with each having price tags in the $B’s. How about release an actual detailed platform that’s well thought out instead of spitting out whatever you think might garner a few votes here and there?

They are all ready to spend our money.

The Fiberal Utrudopian Cult & the Branch Covidain Utrudopian Cult Strategy is always to lie, than lie again and keep on lying until it goes away!

Get rid of Trudeau 💩

Trudeau’s been in power since 2015 & has done NOTHING , ZILCH, NADA , NIENTE about the enormous need for this. I DON’T TRUST Trudeau promises. NOT ONE SINGLE ONE. TrudeauLiesToOurFace TrudeausVanityElection TrudeauMustGo TrudeauHasGotToGo TrudeauRinseAndRepeat promises
