To inform the development of this report the Office of the CPHO has commissioned four independent reports. In an effort to allow broader dissemination of these reports, the National Collaborating Centres for Public Health, in partnership with the authors and the Office of the CPHO worked together to make them publicly available in English and French.
The commissioned reports will be released as soon as the editing process is finalized and will be posted online on this website. Make sure to visit our website regularly!
