Canada's Premiers met yesterday to discuss last week's healthcare funding proposal from the federal government. Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson says it isn't as much as they wanted, but they have agreed to accept it.

The deal will provide the provinces with 46.2-billion dollars in new healthcare funding from the federal government over a period of 10 years.

Stefanson says the premiers will keep working with Ottawa on bilateral agreements tailored to the needs of each province and territory.
