The country’s premiers will meet to discuss the federal government’s health-care funding proposals on Feb. 13, but the final amount is not up for negotiation, says Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc.

“We’re not negotiating to buy a residential property here, where you make a counteroffer, and then make a counter counteroffer,” LeBlanc said during an interview with CTV’s Question Period.
