Legal Background of Abortions Under the constitution, health care is a provincial responsibility.
Provinces decide what services will be covered by the publicly funded health
care system. If provinces want to receive funding from the
federally-administered Canadian Health and Social Transfers, they do need to
follow the guidelines of the Canada Health Act (CHA). All provinces do
currently receive this funding and follow the guidelines. Under the CHA,
provinces must fund "medically necessary services". |
