“Good data helps us make better health care decisions and helps research. This bill makes sure health data is collected the same way across the country. That will help researchers study it better. I support this bill.”
“Madam Speaker, I have been talking about data ever since I became the Minister of Health. Reliable data is essential to making good health care decisions with respect to both service delivery and research. When data is harmonized, researchers can collect it in the same way across the country. This bill will help us do that. It will harmonize how data is collected. All the data will speak the same language, and researchers will be able to analyze it in a consistent fashion. This bill will be beneficial in that regard.”
