Budget Plan 2001 - Budget in Brief - Investing in Health Initiatives
Because Canada's publicly funded health care system reflects the fundamental values shared by all Canadians, the budget:
-
confirms that the $23.4 billion in funding to support health and early childhood development agreements reached by first ministers in September 2000 is fully protected;
-
further strengthens the federal government's contribution to Canada's health care system by providing $95 million to the Canadian Institute for Health Information; and
-
provides a $75-million increase to the annual budget of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
