Trudeau says provinces need to ‘step up’ as health funding talks begin
However, federal officials will be using the negotiations with provinces and territories on the health funding deal to try to push them to use some of this new money and more of their own funds toward helping make the lives of health workers easier, he said.
They’ve been calling on the federal government to increase the Canada Health Transfer so that its share of health-care costs rises from 22 per cent to 35 per cent. Speaking to the nursing students Friday, Trudeau said health workers should be acknowledged for their hard work and given more respect for choosing to continue to work amid trying conditions and an exodus of new and veteran nurses alike.
“We did step up on PSWs, but we’re not done yet. They’re not yet making the $25 an hour that we committed to,” he said.“But the provinces have to step up on part of that as well, not all of them are doing it. But there is no reason for people who are working three jobs, like you, to not be able to pay for your groceries.
