Health ministers from across the country are set to meet Tuesday to warn they’re headed toward a “fiscal cliff” if federal funding agreements for things like home care and mental health are not renewed, Ontario’s health minister said.
Sylvia Jones told a provincial committee meeting on Monday that she and her counterparts are planning to hold an emergency meeting, and said it appears the federal government is walking away from a portion of the Canada Health Transfer. “All I’m asking, and all (that) all of the other federal, territorial ministers are asking for, is some clarity” on whether the federal government will “continue working with us,” Jones told reporters. Provinces and territories have raised concerns about the federal budget, which forecasts an end to some targeted health care funding after March 2027. The federal government pledged a total of $200 billion in health funding over 10 years in the 2023 budget. Story continues below advertisement

Expert says bus model involved in deadly Calgary crash considered ‘extremely safe’ - Global News
An expert on low-carbon transportation says the roughly 1,000 compressed natural gas buses running in Canada are still considered “extremely safe” after one such bus was involved in a deadly crash in Calgary that claimed the lives of three people. On Thursday, a chain-reaction crash happened when a transit bus hit several vehicles before rear-ending a parked bus, igniting an explosion that also left more than a dozen others injured. Calgary police said one officer was taken to the hospital with injuries after running towards a bus as fire erupted. One of the 12-metre-long buses involved in the crash was powered by compressed natural gas, a kind of fuel considered cheaper and more environmentally friendly than diesel gas. Buses that run on compressed natural gas are common in public transit and have been in operation for the past two decades, said Josipa Petrunic, president and CEO of Canadian Urban Transit Research and Innovation Consortium (CUTRIC), a national non-profit focused on low-carbon transit research and planning.
