Trudeau says he'll defend public health care ahead of premiers meeting
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was asked during Monday's question period if his government would ensure "every single dollar" that the federal government will give provinces will go toward public health care. This came after certain provincial leaders, such as Ontario's and Alberta's, have vocalized support for private health-care options as systems struggle to keep up with demand. All 13 Canadian premiers will be meeting with Trudeau on Tuesday to discuss funding for health care.
