  • Delivery: Provincial and territorial governments are responsible for the management, organization and delivery of most of Canada’s health care services, with all provincial and territorial health insurance plans expected to meet national principles set out under the Canada Health Act.
  • Funding: Provincial and territorial governments are primarily responsible for funding healthcare. As of 2021, they fund 78% of the cost, with the federal government providing the rest (22%) through the Canada Health Transfer (CHT). In Ontario, the federal government supports 24.5% of the Province’s health sector spending in 2022-23, which are estimated to total $19.2 billion according to the FAO.
  • Law: Canada Health Act
