Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is in Winnipeg Thursday to announce two health-care funding agreements with Manitoba.
One is the Working Together bilateral agreement, worth $1.2 billion over 10 years. It includes $72 million for an immediate one-time top-up to address urgent issues, such as long wait lists for surgeries.
The other agreement is called Aging with Dignity, a provincial spokesperson said.
“Funding will be used to help Manitoba lower wait times, in part by reaching its commitment to hire 400 doctors, 300 nurses, 200 paramedics, 100 home care workers,” the spokesperson wrote in an email to CBC News.
The announcement with Trudeau and Premier Wab Kinew is scheduled for 12:30 p.m.
