Press Releases - 2007
ACAHO has released a groundbreaking report “Moving at the Speed of Discovery: From Bench to Bedside to Business” – which provides a framework for the country’s health research enterprise, and highlights the diversity and depth of health research within ACAHO member institutions.
Based on the information presented in this first-of-its-kind report, ACAHO has identified a series of Calls to Action that need to be considered by those who have a direct stake in the future success of Canada’s health research enterprise.
ACAHO calls on the federal government to reverse the discriminatory impact of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on the health system.
the purpose of this backgrounder is to explain the current unfairness in the federal government’s application of the GST rebate on all eligible purchases by publicly funded, not-for-profit institutions in the health sector.
