Healthcare is Canadians' most cherished program. That's why over the next five years, we're committing an additional $11.5 billion to healthcare. This investment will provide the provincial and territorial governments with substantially more money to deal with critical healthcare concerns, such as emergency room delays and waiting lists for surgery. At the same time, we're investing $1.4 billion into other health priorities like prevention and research for new treatm ents and cures. Canadians deserve a healthcare system they can depend on. We know there's still a lot of work to do, but we're committed to getting the job done, no m atter what it takes.
