Thank you for the question. Health Canada works with a range of palliative care experts and other stakeholders on initiatives to enhance Canada's capacity to provide quality palliative and end-of-life care. We're investing in the establishment and implementation of national quality standards for palliative care services. We're helping to ensure that all doctors, nurses, and social workers graduate with a core knowledge of how to care for people at the end of life.
We have also been investing money over the past decade to foster the promotion of knowledge sharing and public awareness, and we've invested significant funds through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to help build capacity for palliative care research across Canada. More recently, this government is pleased to provide a one-time funding of $3 million to support the development of community-integrated palliative care models. The provinces and the territories are primarily responsible for the delivery of palliative care.
While the federal, provincial, and territorial governments have their respective areas of responsibilities, our collective goal is to facilitate access by Canadians to quality palliative care services across a variety of settings.
Thank you.
