The federal government says they have reached an agreement in principle with Ontario on health care.

Canada’s premiers agreed earlier in the month to accept Ottawa’s offer of more than $46 billion to the Canada Health Transfer.

The countries premiers said further discussions were also needed for long term stability for the sector.

The feds are investing $73.97 billion over the next 10 years in Ontario including $8.413 billion for a new bilateral agreement focusing on the shared health care priorities.

Ottawa is also including a $766 million top up to address urgent needs in pediatric hospitals and emergency rooms as well as the long wait times for surgeries.
