After four months of extensive public consultation and debate, Oakville Council resolved to donate a maximum of $170 million to Halton Healthcare Services'(HHS) local share plan to fund the new Oakville hospital. A further $30 million donation could be considered at the discretion of a future Council if needed at the time of completion. This was a reduction from the original HHS request for up to $230 million, including contingency funding.
