Speaking in Langley, B.C., on Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and B.C. Premier David Eby announced that a healthcare deal has been reached in principle between the province and the federal government.

The agreement says the federal government will deliver $3.3 billion in new money over the next decade, and that the funding is included in an overall package of $27.47 billion in federal health transfers to the province. The agreement also includes a one-time $273 million Canada Health transfer top-up to address urgent needs in emergency rooms, pediatric hospitals and surgery wait times, according to the B.C. government.

“We know money alone won’t fix everything, so we also want to work with provinces and territories on bilateral deals that will deliver real improvements people can see and feel,” Trudeau said.

Responding to questions about foreign election interference from reporters, Trudeau also said that the government will be examining the recommendations put forth by a committee panel’s report and that “it’s important to get the tools right to protect our democracy.”
