Unlocking Impact: A Joint Mandate Letter for Canada’s New Ministers of Health and Industry

As Canada’s new government begins its mandate, a vital conversation is emerging at the intersection of health and economic prosperity. The Resilient Healthcare Coalition (RHC) has released a proposed Joint Mandate Letter—written in the voice of Prime Minister Mark Carney and addressed to the Ministers of Health and Industry—outlining 10 opportunities for multi-ministerial action to strengthen not only Canadian healthcare systems but also its world-class life sciences ecosystem.

Our latest podcast episode explores the bold vision laid out in that letter: strengthening Canada’s position as a world leader in life sciences research & commercialization; improving access to innovative therapies, diagnostics and vaccines and optimizing the impact and interoperability of health data across Canada.

Hosted by Ross Wallace, principal at Santis Health and featuring RHC Steering Committee members Ryan Lock, Beth Kidd and Jennifer van Gennip, we discuss the role of collaboration across the public, private and not-for-profit sectors and why it’s never been more important for federal leaders to work together to drive health and wealth.

Tune in for an important conversation breaking down the key components of RHC’s 2025 Joint Mandate Letter.
