Jul 13, 2022 – Canada’s premiers have wrapped up talks in Victoria, B.C., frustrated that a date has yet to be set for a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau focused on health care.
Several premiers, including Ontario’s Doug Ford and British Columbia’s John Horgan, expressed frustration that federal Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc had discussed issues related to the request that Ottawa increase its share of health-care funding in the media without sitting down with them.
Horgan says the premiers are happy to talk about potential conditions and best practices, but they first need to meet in person with Trudeau and his government.
