Canada’s premiers are expected to meet again on Tuesday in Victoria, B.C. after a day of talks dominated by health care.

Affordability issues and economic recovery are among the other topics on the table during the Council of the Federation’s summer meetings, which wrap up today. The 13 provincial and territorial premiers are expected to attend and take questions at a closing press conference beginning at 2:30 p.m. PT.

On Monday, the premiers called on the federal government to boost its share of health-care funding to 35 per cent from the existing 22 per cent amid staffing shortages.

B.C. Premier John Horgan, who chairs and hosts the council, says the health-care system needs to be reimagined with a plan for sustainable human resources and stable federal funding.

He says it's been eight months since the federal government promised to sit down with the premiers to come up with a strategy to restore the health-care system and that meeting is overdue.
