Justin Trudeau and Doug Ford to meet today in Mississauga
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Premier Doug Ford are meeting Monday after Ottawa and Queen's Park finalized a new health-care funding accord last week.
Trudeau and Ford will be together at a Mississauga pharmaceutical facility where they are expected to discuss future domestic vaccine development.
The meeting comes after they concluded Ontario's part in a new 10-year arrangement that will boost the share of federal funding for health care.
Earlier this month, the provincial and territorial leaders accepted Trudeau's $46.2-billion proposal to boost Ottawa's contribution to the 13 health-care systems across the country.
