Chief Day, on October 1, 2013, as a result of the British Columbia tripartite agreement on first nations health governance, B.C.'s First Nations Health Authority assumed the programs, services, and responsibilities that were formerly handled by Health Canada. Has this transfer or type of transfer of authority helped to support improved health and well-being for indigenous people and communities in that province? Is that a model you would suggest to us that might help in the transferring of authorities to first nations communities?
