Prime Minister Justin Trudeau will table his offer to premiers on how much money his government is willing to add to the health-care funding pot when he meets with them on February 7th.
Trudeau issued an invitation yesterday for the premiers to work with him on a long-awaited health-care deal.
But he warns they are not going to be signing deals at that meeting.
The premiers have been asking the federal government to increase its share of health-care spending from 22 per cent to 35 per cent.
Estimates suggest a 35 per cent share this fiscal year would cost close to 30-billion dollars.
But Trudeau has never committed to hitting that target.
The talks are looking for a long-term arrangement that could last at least 10 years.
Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic LeBlanc says he hopes a deal can be hammered out before governments table their budgets this spring.
