A senior government official said the government doesn’t intend to tell provinces how to deliver health care, but wants to talk about outcomes and goals
Beyond the new dental care program, which the NDP, not provinces, demanded, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland didn’t announce any new major health spending in her budget. Even Liberal campaign commitments such as more cash to attract family doctors and a new mental health care transfer were absent.
“We are very clear there will be significantly more money from the federal government for health care, but we have seen in decades past that just more money into health care from the federal government doesn’t lead to better outcomes,” he said. “We are sitting down carefully to talk about how to make sure that new investments in health care will deliver the results Canadians need.”B.C.
The premiers want Ottawa to increase health transfers by $28 billion immediately and have it grow by five per cent a year. The premiers argue the federal government only funds 22 per cent of health costs, but the Liberals claim they fund 33 per cent. Speaking on background because they were not authorized to speak publicly, a senior government official said they want to have a clear understanding of where any federal money will go and how it will improve the health care system.
Quebec Premier François Legault, who has been among the most vocal proponents of increased transfers, announced $500 cheques to every adult Quebecer who makes less than $100,000 in his most recent budget at a cost of $3.2 billion.
