CPHLN Issue and Task groups
CPHLN Issue and Task Groups are the bodies who work to investigate, address and resolve public health matters that are important to Canadians.
Issue and Task Groups are formed when a need is identified and are government by both the CPHLN and the Laboratory Directors Council of the National Microbiology Laboratory.
CPHLN Issue and Task groups are staffed by CPHLN members who have laboratory expertise that relates to the groups’ mission. We strive to have representation from each jurisdiction and geographic region on every group.
