‘While enhanced broader data sharing will now be explored and undertaken, to reflect capacities and needs in each of our jurisdictions, individual personal health information cannot and will not be exchanged.’
(LifeSiteNews) –– Canada’s premiers have all reportedly signed a letter addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau explaining that the various provincial healthcare systems will not be sharing any data with the federal government as part of its new deal to receive funding.
“In a joint letter to the Prime Minister, signed by all premiers, we pledged the following,” begins a letter signed by New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs, which was shared online last Thursday by Tim Goyetche, a naturopath and former World Health Organization (WHO) consultant.

“While enhanced broader data sharing will now be explored and undertaken, to reflect capacities and needs in each of our jurisdictions, individual personal health information cannot and will not be exchanged,” reads the letter.
Goyetche says he received the letter after asking Higgs’ office what the province’s plan was regarding the privacy of each individual’s healthcare information.
Higgs noted in the letter that “There has been no such request for New Brunswickers’ personal health information from the Federal Government, nor would we agree to it if they did request it.”
Goyetche, in a follow-up tweet, provided a screenshot of the PDF of the email containing the letter, which he said should reassure those doubtful of the document’s authenticity.
