The Commission on the Future of Health Care in Canada: A Case Study of Aboriginal Health

From: Aboriginal Canada Revisited

$2.20

In his final report, issued in 2002, Romanow, among other things, addressed the health status of Aboriginal people in Canada (First Nations, Metis and Inuit peoples). His recommendations, and their implications for Aboriginal people in Canada, are the subject of this paper. I will argue that Romanow’s proposals were neglected by all levels of government because Aboriginal people, on the whole, did not embrace his concept of Aboriginal Health Partnerships. Indeed, since the tabling of this report; no structural changes to health care, as it relates to Aboriginal People, have taken place.
