Newly appointed Health Minister Mark Holland says he doesn't want to go waving a stick around as he negotiates the final details of a health accord with provinces and territories, and it'll largely be up to Canadians to hold them accountable.

All provinces except Quebec accepted the $198-billion deal in principle earlier this year and are expected to sign final agreements before the end of 2023.

"Canadians are done with turf, they're done with politics, they're done with excuses around jurisdiction. They want to see results," Holland told a conference hosted by the Canadian Medical Association in Ottawa Friday."I'm very convinced that spirit and the demand that's coming from Canadians will ensure accountability," he said.

Quebec still hasn't officially signed on to the agreement. Holland said they've hammered out the financial details, but they're still discussing what a bilateral deal would look like.
