We delivered an additional $2 billion top-up to provinces and territories to strengthen public health care

You deserve to access the health care you need when you need it.

That’s why we just delivered an additional $2 billion top-up to the provinces and territories to help them reduce backlogs and respond to urgent pressures in emergency rooms, operating rooms, and in pediatric hospitals like the IWK.

Yes, the provinces and territories are responsible for the delivery of health care, but we want to ensure that Canadians receive the healthcare they need when they need it.

This urgent top-up is an important part of our plan to invest more than $198 billion to strengthen public health care from coast to coast to coast.
