Consultations

Health Canada recognizes that one of the key challenges in governance today is meaningful public involvement in policy and programme development, service delivery, and legislative and regulatory initiatives. Canadians are better educated and informed than ever before, and they expect to have a say in public policy decision-making. On this page, you will find an overview of current public consultations in which you can take part, and you can find out about past consultations as well.
