TORONTO - The leaders of Canada’s provincial and territorial governments showed a united front on Monday in demanding more money from the federal government for healthcare and for provinces facing economic hard times.
The premiers also urged that a federal program designed to help regions mired in an economic slump be strengthened. There has been a growing sense of alienation in Alberta and Saskatchewan since the 2014-15 global oil price crash, which has driven up unemployment and hurt growth in the western provinces.
The prescription coverage plan “must be developed in partnership with provinces and territories,” the premiers said in their statement. Some of them insisted after the meeting that there be an increase in federal contributions to healthcare before they discuss the prescription drug plan.
