Multi-Lateral Information Sharing Agreement

This Multi-Lateral Information Sharing Agreement was a document signed by the federal, provincial, and territorial ministers of health to ensure data is shared across all levels of government.
In the case of COVID-19, this agreement was vital to centralize data collection, which improves the pandemic surveillance in order to manage the outbreak.
