Have YOUR say in the creation of a National Caregiving Strategy

A National Caregiving Strategy must reflect the experiences of caregivers and care providers across Canada. We want to hear your ideas for a brighter future of care.

While policies that recognize and support caregivers and care providers are needed at all levels of government, our National Caregiving Strategy will focus on federal areas of responsibility. This will have the broadest immediate impact across the country and influence future policy changes in the provinces and territories.

Federal areas of responsibility include:


• Updates to the tax code and Canada Pension Plan
• Some areas of healthcare, such as providing healthcare funding to the provinces and territories, setting national healthcare priorities, military and veteran healthcare and First Nations, Inuit and Métis health services
• Housing
• Immigration system

In contrast, the provinces and territories are responsible for the delivery of health care, education, and social services.

More detail on the differences between the federal and provincial government can be found on the Government of Canada website.
