The loss of these organizations would be a major setback for coordinated public health action and for the continued efforts required to address federal and provincial tobacco control policy. Canada is a signed member of the World Health Organization’s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), which emphasizes the important role that civic action and advocacy play in achieving health objectives of Convention and its protocols. Through their work, these tobacco-specific, non-governmental agencies in particular have prevented massive human suffering and are responsible for mobilizing a coordinated tobacco control movement around the world that moved beyond focusing on individual smoking behaviours towards comprehensive policy-oriented approaches, including regulations and controls on tobacco industry. The CQCT is asking for public health and tobacco control agencies and individual medical professionals to provide their endorsement to the letter that they will be submitting to the Federal Health Minister, all Members of Parliament and health reporters across the country in an effort to reinstate grant funding to support the work of these important agencies. Recommendation: Endorse. Copies of all correspondence are available for perusal from the Secretary-Treasurer.
