Manitoba became the last province to sign a 10-year health funding agreement with the federal government. The deal provides $218 million in total for home and community care and $181.6 million for initiatives addressing mental health and addictions. Ottawa also pledged $5 million to a program targeting the high incidence of kidney disease in Manitoba, one of the issues the provincial government said was holding up a deal.
