Health Canada says Minister Mark Holland and B.C. Health Minister Josie Osborne signed an agreement to invest more than $670 million over four years in contraceptive and diabetes medications, devices, and supplies. The department says the funding is meant to cover more than 1.3 million people for contraception and nearly 550,000 people with diabetes, with residents expected to begin receiving that coverage in March 2026.
