The 13 provincial and territorial premiers in the Council of the Federation meet next Friday, and the discussion will focus on the transfer that Ottawa provides for health care

, physicians have pointed to intensive-care units that have been inundated with patients, delayed surgeries and health care staff pushed to the limit.

Mr. Horgan said provincial, territorial and federal governments have an opportunity to take an “important step” on the CHT and that Mr. Trudeau has been “a reliable partner throughout this pandemic.” For their part, the Trudeau Liberals have not been keen to discuss long-term funding right now. When asked about the issue on Monday, Mr. Trudeau told a news conference that he has repeatedly said that Ottawa will “be there to invest more into the future in the Canada Health Transfer.”

“We have been there to respond to this crisis in our health care system,” he said. “I think one of the things we’ve seen across the country is Canadians expect their health care systems to be able to give them the support necessary, whether it’s during a pandemic or outside of the pandemic.” Jane Philpott, the dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences and director of the School of Medicine at Queen’s University, said in an interview that there was a time in the 1970s when the federal government did pay a higher portion of health care costs.

“We know very well that Canada doesn’t get the same kind of health outcomes as some other countries that get essentially better value for money,” she said.

Sorry buddy he has spent all the money did you know Canada's politicians have dropped to 74 out of a 100 for most corruption

Conservatives- the only party trying to take away your health care

The federal government has supported you clowns enough. Moe could sell his GTH if anyone would buy it with out taxpayers losing their shirt. Alberta and Saskatchewan keep bragging about how wonderful we’re doing. It was Brad Wall that gave nurses a 35% raise.

About time, 4 out of every 10 people on Vancouver Island do not have a primary care Doctor. Walk in clinics are closing. Doctors are leaving/ retiring. One to two year wait for doctors appointments/ surgery. Unacceptable.
