Pierre Poilievre says a future Conservative government would maintain the proposed health spending levels announced this week by the Liberal government but said he can’t immediately commit to adding more funding.
“Health care is broken and the federal government is broke,” he said. “Yesterday, he announced sums that are not adequate, according to the premiers, to fix the health care damage that has emerged under eight years of Trudeau. Obviously, a future Conservative government led by myself will keep in place these additional sums and honour the commitments made yesterday.
The new transfer amounts will be included in the upcoming federal budget, which has not yet been scheduled. “The federal government should not be in a position to have a budget adopted by the end of March with such a proposal,” Mr. Blanchet told reporters on Wednesday. “Here in the Parliament, we have something that provinces do not have. We have the ability not to adopt the budget. I cannot imagine any way for the Conservatives to vote in favor of any budget presented by the Liberals.
“I can’t commit to a dollar figure until I’ve seen how badly Trudeau has ruined the federal finances,” he said. “We have to find out how broke Trudeau has made us before I can make financial commitments like that.”

Conservatives love Trudeau's policies!
