Health Care in Canada — the role of federal and provincial governments The organization of Canada's publicly funded health care system is largely determined by the Canadian Constitution, in which roles and responsibilities are divided between the federal, and provincial and territorial governments.

The provincial and territorial governments have most of the responsibility for delivering health and other social services. Only provincial governments have the power to pass laws governing the financing and delivery of health services to the majority of Canadians.
