This resulted in the CHT continuing to grow at 6% annually for 2014-15 to 2016-17, thereby providing provinces and territories with additional CHT growth in those years. Since then, the CHT has grown at an average annual rate of 4.9% under the current GDP-based escalator, which provided provinces and territories with ongoing and predictable funding for health care. In addition, budget 2017 included a targeted investment of $11 billion in federal funding over 10 years to improve home and community care and mental health and addiction services.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8165986\">Looking forward, the government's working together to improve health care for Canadians plan, first announced in February 2023, includes $25 billion through new tailored bilateral agreements and billions more through top-ups to the CHT and other funding. In total, the Government of Canada is investing over $200 billion over the next 10 years to support provinces and territories to strengthen Canada\u2019s universal public health care system.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8165987\">Historical data for the Canada health transfer and other major federal transfers to provinces and territories can be found at the following link: https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/4eee1558-45b7-4484-9336-e692897d393f</p>",
        "fr": "<p data-HoCid=\"8165984\">Monsieur le Pr\u00e9sident, en d\u00e9cembre 2011, le gouvernement du Canada a annonc\u00e9 que le Transfert canadien en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9, ou TCS, continuerait d\u2019augmenter de 6 % par ann\u00e9e entre 2014-2015 et 2016-2017 et, qu\u2019\u00e0 compter de 2017 2018, le TCS augmenterait selon une moyenne mobile de 3 ans correspondant \u00e0 la croissance du produit int\u00e9rieur brut nominal, ou PIB nominal, et a garanti que le financement augmenterait d\u2019au moins 3 % par ann\u00e9e.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8165985\">L\u2019annonce de d\u00e9cembre 2011 a effectivement prolong\u00e9 le facteur d\u2019indexation de 6 % du TCS pour trois ann\u00e9es suppl\u00e9mentaires, au-del\u00e0 du d\u00e9lai prescrit fix\u00e9 dans le Plan d\u00e9cennal pour consolider les soins de sant\u00e9 de septembre 2004, qui devait prendre fin en 2013 2014. Ceci a donc fait en sorte que le TCS continue d\u2019augmenter de 6 % par ann\u00e9e (de 2014-2015 \u00e0 2016-2017), procurant aux provinces et aux territoires une augmentation suppl\u00e9mentaire du TCS au cours de ces ann\u00e9es. Depuis, le TCS a augment\u00e9 \u00e0 un taux annuel moyen de 4,9 % selon le facteur d\u2019indexation actuel en fonction du PIB, ce qui a procur\u00e9 aux provinces et aux territoires un financement constant et pr\u00e9visible pour les soins de sant\u00e9. En outre, le budget de 2017 pr\u00e9voyait un investissement cibl\u00e9 de 11 milliards de dollars en financement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral sur 10 ans pour am\u00e9liorer les soins \u00e0 domicile et en milieu communautaire et les services en sant\u00e9 mentale et en toxicomanie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8165986\">En tournant le regard vers l\u2019avenir, le plan du gouvernement intitul\u00e9 Travailler ensemble pour am\u00e9liorer les soins de sant\u00e9 pour les Canadiens, annonc\u00e9 pour la premi\u00e8re fois en f\u00e9vrier 2023, comprend 25 milliards de dollars dans le cadre de nouvelles ententes bilat\u00e9rales adapt\u00e9es et des milliards de dollars de plus au titre de compl\u00e9ments au TCS et \u00e0 d\u2019autres financements. Au total, le gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral investira plus de 200 milliards de dollars au cours des 10 prochaines ann\u00e9es pour aider les provinces et les territoires \u00e0 renforcer le syst\u00e8me de soins de sant\u00e9 public universel du Canada.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"8165987\">Vous pouvez consulter les donn\u00e9es historiques sur le Transfert canadien en mati\u00e8re de sant\u00e9 et d\u2019autres importants transferts f\u00e9d\u00e9raux aux provinces et aux territoires en cliquant ce lien: https://ouvert.canada.ca/data/fr/dataset/4eee1558-45b7-4484-9336-e692897d393f</p>"
