Abstract
Investissements en santé publique au Québec et ailleurs au Canada Recent analyses by the Canadian Institute for Health Information (CIHI) suggest that Quebec may be the province that spends the least on public health. But is that really the case? In a CIRANO study (Jacques et al., 2025), the authors examine this question and offer a new perspective on Quebec’s public health efforts. By scrutinizing public expenditures in four provinces based on a common definition of public health, they show that CIHI tends to overestimate public health spending in all provinces except Quebec. Once budget categories are harmonized, public health investments are shown to be similar across provinces. → Read the article in PERSPECTIVES → Read the full project report Investissements en santé publique au Québec et ailleurs au Canada De récentes analyses de l’Institut canadien d’information sur la santé (ICIS) suggèrent que le Québec serait la province qui dépense le moins en santé publique. Mais est-ce vraiment le cas ? Dans une étude CIRANO (Jacques et al., 2025), les auteurs se penchent sur cette question et offrent une nouvelle perspective sur les efforts du Québec en matière de santé publique. En scrutant les dépenses publiques de quatre provinces à partir d’une définition commune de la santé publique, ils montrent que l’ICIS tend à surestimer la dépense de santé publique dans toutes les provinces sauf au Québec. Une fois les catégories budgétaires harmonisées, les investissements en santé publique sont similaires d’une province à l’autre. → Lire l'article dans la revue PERSPECTIVES → Lire le rapport de projet complet
