Health funding platforms

Here's what the 2025 Canadian election parties are promising.

Liberal

  • Invest $4B in building critical healthcare infrastructure, like hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities, in partnership with the provinces

    "Build critical health infrastructure like hospitals, clinics, and long-term care facilities by working with provinces and territories." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-21

    "Build hospitals, clinics, and more by investing $4 billion to construct and renovate community health care infrastructure. This will also support investments in public long-term care; improve access to team-based care, including mental health care services; and provide funding for expensive machinery like MRIs. We have seen hospitals and clinics closing at the same time as health care needs are growing. The urgency to end wait times and hallway health care cannot be ignored. It’s time to build hospitals so that Canadians have access to the care they need. We will work with provinces and territories to accelerate this work and cost-share these investments. We will also work with First Nation, Inuit, and Métis communities to ensure improved access to these critical services." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-22

  • Create a fund to help family doctors with the costs of opening a practice

    "Make it easier to set up clinics in new communities through a new-practice fund to help family doctors with the costs of opening a practice, such as new clinic space and medical equipment and technologies. New doctors graduate with a lot of debt. We want them to be able to start practices in communities where patients are looking for doctors." — liberal.ca, retrieved 2025-04-22

We don't have any Conservative policies on Health funding.

Bloc

  • Increase health transfers by an extra 1% for provinces that commit to action on the doctor shortage and publicly report their progress

    "To help tackle the doctor shortage, we’ll boost Canada Health Transfers by an additional 1% for provinces that commit to action and publicly report on their progress. This incentive will support real partnerships to train, recruit, and retain the health workers Canadians need." — ndp.ca, retrieved 2025-04-19

  • Work with territorial governments to provide housing and facilities for family doctors and primary care teams in the North
