“In addition, the government will work with Indigenous partners to provide additional support for Indigenous health priorities: $2 billion over 10 years to address the unique challenges Indigenous Peoples face when it comes to fair and equitable access to quality and culturally safe health care services. […] These investments, on top of already significant funding, will help build a health care system that includes: access to high-quality family health services when they need them, including in rural and remote areas, and for underserved communities; a resilient and supported health care workforce that provides high-quality, effective, and safe health care services; […] access to home care and safe long-term care so Canadians can age safely and live in dignity.”
