| Objets poursuivis : Renseignements rétrospectifs : | Editorials in the Canadian Journal of Public Health address national and international health and social issues, while conferences provide a forum for both members and the public to debate major health topics. Through representation on external committees and task forces, the Association's views are presented and contribute to the decision-making process relevant to public health issues.Another of the Association's major activities is representation through lobbying and presentations to Parliamentary Committees. To keep the membership informed of CPHA's activities in the area of advocacy brief reports are included from time to time in issues of the CPHA Health Digest. CPHA continues to advocate for increased funding to repair the fractured infrastructure of public health in Canada. CPHA advocated for increased funding in capacity for emergency preparedness in light of the emerging communicable diseases such as SARS and West Nile Virus. CPHA continued its advocacy through letters to the Federal, Provincial and Territorial Ministers of Health prior to their joint conference in September of 2004 and through other correspondence to governments. In particular, CPHA advocated that public health investments should be devoted to a national public health strategy, the improvement of our public health infrastructure and a national public health human resources strategy. Through these investments an umbrella will be provided under which common risk factors and health determinants can be integrated.In a presentation to the Standing Committee on Finance (November 2004), CPHA outlined a series of budget recommendations aimed at supporting and improving the system to ensure that public health is recognized as the national priority it must be. CPHA also recommended full implementation of the Voluntary Sector Accord, that guides relationships between the voluntary sector and government. | ||||||
