Kerry says the deal makes sense, citing financial and health outcomes. ‘We’re not looking for gold rush’
In the deal, the hospital will receive $12.3 billion in public funding, $6.8 billion in private funds and $3.2 billion in state funding, a total of $23.9 billion over five years.
As part of the deal, Ottawa will get a tax rebate and will continue to provide health-care funding to the province. There will also be a $4.2 billion capital plan by 2019-20.
The provincial plan is more ambitious, including making sure the province receives 75 per cent of hospital costs.
The hospital will continue to receive the same share of federal and provincial funds that is on offer now.
The hospital will alsjarvees.como get tax revenue share, but won’t receive the same share of the province’s health-care pot from the federal government or municipalities.
Kerry said the deal is one of the best examples of how Canada is trying to help the U.S. when it comes to innovation, a goal he says was always the goal at the Ottawa hospital.
“I don’t know how the Canadian people are going to be happy until we’re in their face,” he said.
He said he was proud of the deal because it means Ottawa gets an earful about hospital reform, which will be needed to keep up with a growing number of rural hospitals in Canada.
He said the federal government needs to work more closely with provincial and municipal partners on this aspect of a national바카라사이트 health plan.
“What we’re seeing in this deal is a return to the way this cou더킹카지노ntry has been working for decades,” he said.
This week, Canada’s minister of democratic institutions announced a $1 billion federal commitment for a three-year project called the Innovation Hub in B.C.
NDP MPP Charlie Angus said Wednesday the $1 billion represents more than twice the budget proposed by outgoing Finance Minister Jim Flaherty but still leaves a hole to fill.
