DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join the 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ Research Group on Health and L
 aw for a lunchtime seminar delivered by Michael Da Silva\, Banting Postdoc
 toral Fellow in the Faculty of Law and the Institute for Health and Social
  Policy at 9IÖÆ×÷³§Ãâ·Ñ.\n\nHis talk will explore whether the Canadia
 n federal government should take an increased role in standardizing health
  care coverage across Canada. If the federal government increases its role
  in health\, however\, this may be inconsistent with the recognition of su
 b-constitutional nations-within-nations (particularly Quebec and Indigenou
 s nations) in Canada.\n\nSpace is limited: kindly reserve your spot by ema
 iling rghl.law [at] mcgill.ca.\n\nAccredited for 1.5 hours of continuing l
 egal education for jurists by a recognized provider.\n\nAbstract\n\nPrimar
 y provincial responsibility over health care leads to inconsistent health 
 care coverage across the provinces and sub-optimal coverage in many provin
 ces. The federal government should accordingly use its available powers to
  standardize health care coverage across Canada. Doing so would improve he
 alth care justice and could increase Canada's realization of its health-re
 lated international human rights obligations. Yet an increased federal rol
 e in health care may be inconsistent with recognition of sub-constitutiona
 l nations-within-nations (viz.\, Quebec and Indigenous nations) in Canada 
 and the increased decision-making for such nations that recognition could 
 entail. Canada recognizes nations within the nation of Canada (at least su
 b-constitutionally). Should these sub-constitutional nations constrain the
  federal government’s ability to take an increased role in health care reg
 ulation in Canada? This talk introduces the general problem raised by the 
 conjunction of the need for an increased federal role and sub-constitution
 al nations. It then offers some tentative thoughts on how to resolve the a
 ttendant issues: while there is at least a prima facie case that ‘national
 ’ status should have some normative weight and recognized nations-within-a
 -nation should have an increased role in decision-making about social good
 s like health care\, this prima facie case need not completely undermine i
 ncreased federal action in the field.\n\nThe speaker\n\nMichael Da Silva i
 s a Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Banting Postdoctoral Fel
 low in the Faculty of Law and Institute for Health and Social Policy at Mc
 Gill University. He completed his doctorate at the University of Toronto F
 aculty of Law\, where he was a CIHR Vanier Canada Graduate Scholar. His nu
 merous publications include works in health law\, ethics\, and philosophy 
 of law.\n
