    Carney’s government is maintaining its billions in health transfers to the provinces at their current level.

    The cuts are for:

    • the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC);
    • the National Strategy for Drugs for Rare Diseases;
    • the Emergency Treatment Fund, which provides assistance to Indigenous communities and municipalities to deal with the opioid crisis;
    • a 10-year $6 billion federal contribution to home and community care;
    • and the Canadian Drugs and Substances Strategy.

    Ramping down the COVID one is ok but the ones supporting indigenous community are questionable
