Pierre Poilievre says he would honour the health-care increases Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has promised provinces if his Conservatives form the next government.
Poilievre made the pledge after Trudeau offered to increase health-care transfers by $17 billion above previous commitments, and to provide another $25 billion via one-on-one deals with provinces over the next decade.
