I am of the opinion that if healthcare wasn’t being starved today, the requirement for proof wouldn’t exist.

The provinces are being very reasonable in asking for a percentage increase on the growth of the cash side of transfers here. This is like filling a swimming pool with a garden hose when right now you should be topping it up and worrying about inefficiencies after the dust settles and care/treatment has caught up.
Just 6 years ago we were at a 6% growth rate on CHTs, but for some reason this government can't manage to go above 3% now? Something doesn't add up - especially when you're emerging from a pandemic with an extreme burden on specialists and clinical care that was left swinging in the wind for 2+ years.
