funding from the feds to the provinces have changed over the past
25 or so years. You can see by a quick glance that since the late
90s
there has been a steady increase in federal transfers to the provinces
for health/social programs. While these transfer payments are
revenue for the provinces they are an expenditure for the federal
government.
Early 1990s still had the Established Programs Financing (EPF) -
somewhat stable funding - provided block funding tied to GDP or
gross domestic product - this is the total value of all the final goods
and services produced within a time period..
EPF provided more flexibility for the provinces in how they used the
,funds - combination of cash and tax points so that if the feds
decreased their taxes the province could increase theirs
Also had the Canada Assistance Plan (CAP) which was established in
the 60s for cost sharing with social assistance programs
1995 - the EPF and CAP were combined to create the Canada Health
and Social transfer (these are the purple bars) - this combined
health, education, social services and social assistance into one
transfer. It decreased the total amount of cash transfer and
eliminated automatic annual increases.
The increase seen starting in 2000 was related to the agreement
between all levels of government on reforms in primary care,
pharmacy management, health ICT & health equipment and
infrastructure. Because the feds agreed to these reforms they
committed money and increased their cash transfers
2004 - Health Accord - more reform and feds increased cash
transfers and split the CHST into 2 separate transfers: Canada
Social Transfer (green bars) and Canada Health Transfer (blue bars) -
2014- 2017 CHT increased by 6% per year after which would be
tied to the GDP
