Canada Health Infoway Inc. (Infoway) is an independent not-for-profit corporation with a mandate to foster and accelerate the development and adoption of electronic health information systems and compatible standards and communications technologies across Canada. Infoway is also a collaborative mechanism in which the federal, provincial and territorial governments participate as equals, toward a common goal of modernizing Canada’s health information systems. The Public Health Agency of Canada’s portion under this collaboration is the Health Surveillance Program, because the Agency provided Infoway a one-time conditional grant of $100 million in 2004-05 for this purpose.

Information on both Health Canada’s and the Public Health Agency of Canada’s conditional grants to Infoway is combined in supplementary information to Health Canada’s Departmental Performance Report.
