Under a third of Canadians say they have “high trust” in the country’s federal government, according to in-house research conducted by the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC).
“Trust, particularly in the government and health care sector, is central to the effectiveness of public health measures,” said PHAC’s report. “While respondents have a lot of trust in hospitals and health care workers, trust in the federal government (e.g., the Public Health Agency) is much lower.”
