Building on Values: The Future of Health Care in Canada
Final Report
In April 2001, the Prime Minister established the Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada. It's mandate was to
review medicare, engage Canadians in a national dialogue on its future, and make
recommendations to enhance the system’s quality and sustainability. The 47 recommendations contained in this report serve as a roadmap for a collective journey by Canadians to reform and renew their health care system. They outline actions that must be taken in 10 critical areas, starting by renewing the foundations of medicare and moving beyond our borders to consider Canada’s role in improving health around the world.
