3.7: Governance

More effective governance

Other Information:

More effective Agency governance will also allow for more active participation and leadership in portfolio and interdepartmental fora. The Agency must have the ability to lead files across the Health Portfolio and interdepartmentally (e.g., social determinants of health), provide timely and coherent public health input to the priorities of other departments (e.g., public safety and security, seniors’ health, disability, drug strategy, healthy food) and coordinate the advancement of public health objectives in concert with other government priorities. Above all, the Agency must show leadership in serving the Minister of Health with clear, high quality and well-respected public health advice.
