We did not really analyze the reason for the failure, nor did we make specific recommendations about changes that could be made. “Vital Signs“ did not either. In fact, “Vital Signs“ is intended to be non-political. The intention of the report is to show the facts, to put them into perspective and, for the first time, to bring together all the available national, provincial and territorial data. The intention is to publish the facts so that they can be discussed by government and the general public.
I would like to add that the report is published in October each year. This is done deliberately because most elections take place in October. This does not mean that it is a partisan publication; it is not political. We want to promote discussion on those matters. We hope that political parties, other community organizations and the media will read it and ask themselves what is happening.
