The premiers of the Maritimes and Ontario are calling for better national collaboration — a “Team Canada” approach — in order to solve certain problems in the health system, but none of them are proposing concrete to succeed.
During a press briefing in Moncton, New Brunswick, along with the federal Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Dominic LeBlanc, the Premiers argued that the various governments must work together to reduce wait times in hospitals and empty the waiting lists for surgeries.
However, the four prime ministers did not detail how this would materialize.
New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs believes that changes will have to take place in health care systems, but he did not specify which ones.
As for Ontario Premier Doug Ford, he thinks that provincial premiers and the federal government should take inspiration from the ideas of nurses, doctors and hospital managers to fix the health care system. He said he was convinced that the experts on the ground would have a “solution”.
