Supplementary notes

Original question provided in the source: "The federal government has suggested that it would increase funding to provinces and territories for healthcare expenses like more healthcare workers for a period of 4 years. After that, the funding will end, or the provinces will have to absorb the costs. Do you agree that for long term improvements in the healthcare, the federal government’s funding has to be sustainable and maintained over time?"
