Promise History
2.10.025 - “A re-elected CAQ government will demand] that the federal government increase the level of its unconditional contribution on a per capita basis to their overall healthcare costs through the Canada Health Transfer (CHT) from 22% to 35%. Going forward, the federal government’s contribution should be maintained through an escalation mechanism that reflects the 6% average annual growth in provincial healthcare spending.”

« Il est prévu que la part du TCS dans les dépenses de santé des provinces et territoires, qui s’établit à 21,3 % en 2024-2025, diminuera à 19,3 % d’ici 2039-2040. Cette part s’établissait à 23,2 % en 2016-2017. »

This promise has been fulfilled, even if the expected results are lower, because the government has made the request to the federal government, thus respecting the wording.
« le Québec a finalement conclu une entente avec Ottawa sur les transferts en santé d’une valeur de près de 1 milliard par an. L’entente, valide pour dix ans, permettra au Québec de recevoir 900 millions de plus par année pour financer ses services de santé. Elle porte sur l’enveloppe générale de transferts en santé en provenance du fédéral. […] À l’origine, les premiers ministres des provinces avaient unanimement demandé que le financement du fédéral passe de 22 % à 35 % des dépenses en santé. Or, l’entente va maintenir cette part autour de 20 % d’ici à 2040. »

“The $196.1-billion federal offer to assist ailing health systems presented at an in-person First Ministers’ meeting last week includes both increases to the amount budgeted to flow through the Canada Health Transfer (CHT) as well as $25 billion for bilateral deals tailored to each province and territory’s health-care system’s needs.”

Although the Quebec government agreed to the federal offers which are lower than the suggested 35%, it continues to demand higher health transferts as do other provinces.
“Trudeau’s proposal also includes a five per cent annual hike to the CHT for the next five years, with a built-in mechanism to permanently increase funding in the years after. …Government data suggests this funding boost will increase the CHT by some 61 per cent over the next 10 years. That amounts to about $17.3 billion in new money for the provinces and territories to prop up a faltering system. …The premiers had been asking Ottawa to increase the Canada Health Transfer to provinces by $28 billion a year. “
