OTTAWA — Ontario will be the first province to sit down directly with the federal government to work on a one-on-one agreement for new health-care dollars.
Federal Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said the plan is to meet Thursday with Premier Doug Ford and Ontario Health Minister Sylvia Jones.
The meeting would come two days after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau put an offer on the table to transfer $196 billion in health care money to the provinces and territories over the next 10 years.
