The premiers of Canada's provinces and territories spoke on Tuesday after a high-stakes health summit with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, where the ailing health-care system was the primary focus.

“One of the things that we did see today is that there wasn’t a lot in the way of new funding that is a part of this package… to say the least I think we were a little disappointed in that,” Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson said in reaction to the federal government’s proposal Tuesday.

“Once we all absorb it, when we go back home, we’ll have questions,” Ontario Premier Doug Ford added.

Quebec Premier Francois Legault said premiers need to have more conversations with the federal government to see whether there is any room for negotiation on the terms, especially when it comes to amounts that have been offered.

The premiers have been calling for a major influx of cash from Ottawa to the tune of about $23 billion, arguing the federal government should take on a greater share of the increasing costs of health care.
