Fertility Matters Canada urges ministers over federal IVF funding commitment
What happened
Fertility Matters Canada called on federal, provincial, and territorial Health Ministers to prioritize fertility care. A new Ipsos survey found that 49 per cent of Canadians with an opinion support establishing public funding for in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment by the federal government. The survey examined views on Mark Carney’s 2025 campaign commitment to provide up to $20,000 toward a single IVF cycle.
