• While Canada had lower numbers of cases and deaths and higher vaccination rates than most other G10 countries, these successes mask inequities across communities, socio-economic conditions and demography.
• Now is the time to learn from the COVID-19 response through an action-oriented, independent inquiry focused on implementation and accountability.

Loss of public trust

• The Public Health Agency of Canada, which was created in the wake of the first SARS outbreak in 2003, develops national clinical and public health guidelines while provincial and territorial health agencies make decisions for their individual jurisdictions.
• Over time, this led to a loss of confidence in public health guidance.

Fragmented data

• Health information systems lack integration and interoperability between data sources, even after $130 million of investment over the past eight years.
• Canada’s health data privacy and protection laws, developed before the era of big data applications, create legal impediments to using and analyzing data across jurisdictions.
• Data need never leave their secure data environments; instead, de-identified data may be accessed and analyzed across independent systems using federated data structures.
• Improved data access also presumes that data are fit for purpose, and that was not the case.

Health inequities

• Health data that include not only locale, but also racial identity, occupations, household size and income can help unpack social determinants of infection and health outcomes, and can be used to tailor public health programs.
• Public health decisions involve health, social and economic tradeoffs that need to be informed not only by standard epidemiological data, but also by social science data.
• These data can illuminate the social determinants of health, the spread of misinformation and disinformation and political factors, such as the rise in social unrest due to public health measures.

Public inquiry and reforms

• It is clear that some public trust in public health, science and government has been lost in Canada and around the world.
• We need political will to call an independent inquiry that is inclusive of a diversity of voices, accountable to communities and with a mandate to implement change.
• Reforms to data generation, access and use are essential in preparing for the next public health emergency.
