鈥�Canada is facing tremendous economic, fiscal, and public health challenges, a situation that makes this throne speech especially meaningful from a policy standpoint. Politically, the presence of a minority parliament creates an even more complicated situation for the Trudeau government, which will likely face a confidence vote after the speech. An unusually significant throne speech.鈥�

鈥�Additional federal health care funding will help provinces and territories navigate the large and ongoing challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic. At the same time, federal health care transfers should be accompanied by guidance and leadership so that all Canadians can benefit from sound testing strategies, accessible services, and high-quality care regardless of where they live.鈥�
