The federal government has presented a new health-care funding offer that would see it shift 196-billion-dollars to the provinces and territories over the next decade.
The money would come in exchange for commitments to massively upgrade health-care data collection and digital medical records.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau laid out the proposal to the premiers in Ottawa yesterday.
The premiers say the offer will increase the federal share of health-care costs from the current 22 per cent to 24 per cent next year.
That’s far short of the 35 per cent they were demanding.
