Holland told a conference hosted by the Canadian Medical Association in Ottawa that a $198-billion deal struck between the federal and provincial governments in February is intended to restore Canadians' optimism about Canadian health care.
All provinces except Quebec have accepted the agreement in principle and are hammering out finer details. Holland says governments"viscerally" understand that Canadians are done with political excuses for the state of health care and want to see results. He says he believes those public demands will ensure accountability, and Ottawa"shouldn't walk around with a stick."
Holland said after his appearance that his provincial and territorial counterparts are pulling in the same direction, and that's why he doesn't want to start talking about how they'll be penalized if they don't meet the deal's conditions.
