This article by Hon. Monique Bégin is a critical appraisal of what has been accomplished over the last 30 years: what went wrong and what may be repaired by focusing on social determinants of health. The aim is to identify and analyze Canadian initiatives with a view to assessing what has happened on the national scene since the Lalonde Report “A New Perspective on the Health of Canadians”.

 

“…In this presentation, I situate myself outside the world of health promotion and education, where other health professionals find themselves, and where the general public is. I do not speak from within. Again, I apologize for undertaking this critical appraisal and would not want to be unfair, thinking of all those whose admirable daily struggles deal with health promotion – those who have kept it alive through the years. …”  (au)
