Consumer Participation and Citizen Engagement

As part of our ongoing commitment to a quality health care system, Health Canada believes that Canadians should have an opportunity to participate in the development of programs and policies that affect them. By engaging Canadians, government decision making will become more transparent, and Canadians will have a greater role in shaping the priorities of their health care system.
