Resilient Institutions Learning from Canada’s COVID-19 Pandemic ABOUT THE REPORT The report was written by Charles Breton and Ji Yoon Han from the Centre of Excellence on the Canadian Federation at the Institute for Research on Public Policy (IRPP), and David McLaughlin and Caroline Woodward from the Institute on Governance (IOG). [...] The pandemic challenged established conceptions of the role of government, the capacity of the public service, and the needs of the people they serve. [...] It was the first exercise to bring together public servants and elected officials from different orders of government, as well as academics, health-care practitioners and community organizations. Part I of this document provides a brief overview of reports produced by governments reviewing the pandemic response and describes the context in which the four institutions that were the focus of the e. [...] report and the KPMG and Manning reports in Alberta differed substantively in composition and mandate, and the extent to which the public, First Nations and various stakeholders were consulted. [...] The province pivoted by adding more personnel to the Ministry of Health and other core ministries, adapting existing supply-chain work to focus on the procurement of PPE and increasing the Ministry of Health’s spending authority (Angus, 2023).
