That includes $46 billion in new funding for the provinces via tailored one-on-one deals as well as the Canadian Health Transfer over 10 years.

Built into the deal are accountability measures designed to show Canadians whether the dollars are actually having an empirical effect on health-care delivery.

When asked at a conference hosted by the Canadian Medical Association Friday who will be responsible for holding provinces to those metrics, Holland pointed to the Canadian public.

"Canadians are done with turf, they're done with politics, they're done with excuses around jurisdiction. They want to see results," Holland said.

He said governments "viscerally" understand that sentiment.

"I'm very convinced that spirit and the demand that's coming from Canadians will ensure accountability," he said.

After his appearance, Holland said he doesn't want to talk about how the federal government will penalize provinces if they don't follow through on the conditions of the deal.

"I think you shouldn't walk around with a stick," he said in an interview with 国产诱惑福利.

"Part of the reason that I don't talk about the stick is because I think we're all pulling in the same direction. I think that we all want the same thing to happen here."

Quebec still hasn't officially signed on to the agreement. Holland said they've hammered out the financial details, but they're still discussing what a bilateral deal would look like.

The health-care system has been ailing since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, when increased hospitalizations and difficult working conditions worsened serious staffing issues.

In the years since, Canada has developed large surgical backlogs and a shortage of health workers. The lack of staff has caused emergency rooms to close intermittently in some parts of the country.

The CMA and the Angus Reid Institute kicked off the conference on Thursday with results from a new poll that shows an increasing sense of pessimism in the health-care system.

The poll found 68 per cent of respondents were pessimistic about the prospect of health system improvements in the next two years and 56 per cent were doubtful things would change for the better even five years down the line.

The poll surveyed 5,010 adult Canadians who are members of an Angus Reid panel. A margin of error cannot be assigned because internet-based polls are not considered random samples.

Holland said he will consider the health accords a success if optimism about health care can be restored, even if a true fix takes longer.

"We have to have people have optimism and hope in our health system," he said.

Canadian Medical Association president Dr. Kathleen Ross said she would be able to declare success if she made a care plan for a patient and knew she would be able to follow through with it in a reasonable amount of time.

Success would also mean that patients have access to and can afford the care they need, she said.

That kind of change will mean looking beyond the next election cycle.

"We need to try and uncouple those long-term, reformative innovations from the political cycle," Ross said.

Holland said he intends to travel as much as possible over the next several weeks to continue talks with his provincial counterparts and make sure health reforms don't fall off the political agendas.
