Prime minister says the system needs reform, and he’s not going to give up the money unless the provinces commit to change

The federal and provincial governments appear deadlocked in their negotiations on the future of health care in Canada, and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s latest comments suggests he will not be the one to blink first.

The problem goes back more than a year, when provinces first demanded a sit-down with the prime minister to talk about long-term and sustainable funding increases after pandemic strain left them with large backlogs and a burnt-out workforce. “Canadians are right to look at all orders of government and say, ‘This is terrible, you guys really need to solve this,”’ Trudeau said.

A more politically palatable situation might be to offer targeted funds for specific priorities and sign individual agreements with each province, she said, rather than treating with them as a group.

There's no money right most of it went to donations worldwide while Canada is losing his universal healthcare that's unacceptable we vote for you to make the country better not to make us poor

Im sure he'll find a way to turn it into some kind of scandal/ethics/conflict of interest issue that he won't take responsibility for

He should just pay the provinces what they need. Reverse the Chretien cuts of the 90s

Because the globalist take over is coming through the WHO and public health and the reconciliation with the indigenous tribes. You will own nothing and be happy.

ianabailey Please sir do something now with the premiers

What… Over a year of refusing to meet with premiers is finally long enough…? What a pile of PR nonsense parroted by media to fool gullible Canadians…the Canada Health Act defines everyone’s role but Trudeau wants total and complete power…

This is what passes for journalism, these days!

Oh so he has been “kicking it down the road”than? Must be an election coming. He’ll promise us the world and his TruAnon faithful will pretend that he means it this time. Pathetic.

jagmeet threatens and trudeau blinks. loser.

Fact they even said “ Not willing to kick health care reform down the road any longer” tells you the problem with Canada healthcare system

elonmusk please do something about these click bait news companies with links to articles behind paywalls.

So we’re finally getting a private tier to enhance overall capacity?

He can run his next election campaign on this and he would win in a landslide. Covid has been the great revealer of many things....just HOW badly our provinces are misspending and managing healthcare is decidedly one of them.

lol. He admits that is what he has been doing. No wonder our healthcare is in ruins.
