Canada's premiers have repeated their demand that the federal government sit down with them and resolve health-care funding issues.
BC Premier John Horgan, chair of the Council of the Federation, commented today at the start of the second day of talks between Canada's 13 premiers.
He responded to federal concerns that the provinces could reduce their own health spending if Ottawa tops up its payments.
The premiers want the federal government to boost its share of health funding to 35 per cent from the current 22 per cent.
They want the prime minister to make good on what Horgan says is an eight-month-old promise to meet and discuss new strategies.
