In order to ensure that the Commission’s final report reflects the insights of CNA members and the public, the Commissioners embarked on a consultation process that allowed them to meet with and talk to nurses, stakeholder groups and Canadians.
The results of these consultations will be integrated with commissioned research, other publications, and public opinion polling, to form a solid evidence base for the Commission’s final recommendations.
In late 2011, the Commission held conversations with hundreds of Canadians, hosted in partnership with 20 YMCA associations. These consultations involved hundreds of nurses across the country at all levels of the profession, from students to senior leaders.
