CFNU is encouraged by capital funding for health infrastructure and supports for IENs promised in Budget 2025. While Canada’s nurses support these efforts, the budget ignored the urgent need for nurse retention & recruitment and did not offer any new funding for pharmacare agreements. (1/2) #cdnpoli
