An independent report says Canada needs to learn from the COVID-19 pandemic and take action before the next health emergency strikes.

The report says disease surveillance, hospitalization data and research findings need to be communicated much more effectively between provinces, the territories and the federal government.

It says Canada also needs to address inequities among people who are hardest hit during emergencies.

Johnson noted some steps the federal government has already taken include integrating science and research into Health Canada and PHAC 's emergency response plan, creating expert panels on emerging issues such as mpox and avian influenza , and launching a new agency called Health Emergency Readiness Canada .
