Canada Extends Mental Health and Addictions Funding by One Year With $1.2 Billion
Reported byCBC Health ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Federal Health Minister Marjorie Michel announced a one-year, $1.2 billion extension of funding for mental health, addictions and home care. Provincial health ministers had warned of harm to patients and health-care jobs if it lapsed.
It's a one-year extension. Longer-term funding is still unsettled, and the minimum yearly increase in federal health transfers to the provinces drops from 5% to 3% in 2028.
