The Federal government has withdrawn from a joint communique with provincial and territorial health ministers, ending widely anticipated meetings in Vancouver without any agreement to boost health care funding.
British Columbia Health Minister Adrian Dix, who called it a “disappointing” end to the meetings, had said provincial and territorial ministers were united behind a request for federal funding to be increased to 35 per cent, up from 22 per cent.
