On the one hand, the federal government should participate in the discussions and work with the provinces and territories. On the other hand, it must establish a national vision, as well as objectives and indicators that could have a positive impact. That way, it could help Canada become one the top five countries with a good track record in that area. We shouldn't forget that the federal government is the fifth largest health care provider. So it is very important for the government to be a leader in that area.
