Indeed. Of course, the federal government was elected with the promise of a new health accord, but the health minister indicated that she was accepting the same formula for health transfers that the previous government used. In fact, because that formula ties the Canada health transfer to growth in GDP, health transfers are actually lower for future years under budget 2016 than they would have been under budget 2015.
I wonder if you could just say a little bit more about the importance of knowing how much money the province is going to receive for health care from one year to the next, rather than having it tied to the vagaries of external economic conditions.
