“The federal government and the provinces have an agreed formula for healthcare funding, and the amounts go up automatically. We will talk about it in upcoming meetings. The formula can and should be changed over time.”
“Mr. Speaker, concerning the Canada health transfer, a formula has been negotiated by the federal and provincial governments, and the amounts are indexed. What I can say is that negotiations and discussions will take place during upcoming federal-provincial meetings, and I am sure that this transfer formula will be updated during negotiations held in the years to come. The formula is not set in stone. It can and should be adapted.”
