A.5 The main advantages of the Agency are the focus and prominence it brings to the health issues that are of importance to Canadians and specifically ensuring that Canada has a public health system prepared to anticipate and respond to public health threats. Having a CPHO in place ensures there is clear federal leadership in the event of a public health emergency. Canadians made it clear that this was something they wanted to see following the SARS outbreak. The CPHO will also provide advice on public health issues directly to the Minister of Health and Minister of State for Public Health.
