The premiers of the Maritimes and of Ontario say they need a “Team Canada” approach to fixing the country’s health-care problems, but none of the leaders is offering any specifics or solutions.

They told reporters today after meeting in Moncton, N.B., with federal Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc that the country’s leaders need to come together to create a plan to reduce the emergency wait times and surgery backlogs plaguing the system.
