VANCOUVER — The British Columbia government has agreed in principle to a $27.47-billion deal for health-care funding from the federal government.
The agreement is another step toward completing a $196-billion, 10-year health-care funding proposal that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made with Canada's premiers last month.
The funding includes a $3.32-billion bilateral agreement to help Canadians age in their homes, with access to home care or care in long-term care facilities. More than 11,000 people have died in B.C. from illicit drug overdoses since B.C. declared a public health emergency in 2016.
