I went back & read, rather than skimmed. Key points re: preventative health recommendations are as follows.
"RECOMMENDATION 22:
Prevention of illness and injury, and promotion of good health should be strengthened
with the initial objective of making Canada a world leader in reducing tobacco use and
obesity.
RECOMMENDATION 23:
All governments should adopt and implement the strategy developed by the Federal,
Provincial and Territorial Ministers Responsible for Sport, Recreation and Fitness to
improve physical activity in Canada.
RECOMMENDATION 24:
A national immunization strategy should be developed to ensure that all children are
immunized against serious illnesses and Canada is well prepared to address potential
problems from new and emerging infectious diseases."
Also, the 4 "Building Blocks" are actually:
1. Continuity and co-ordination of care
2. Early detection and action
3. Better information on needs and outcomes
4. New and stronger incentives
The closest it comes to mentioning breastfeeding is:
Primary health care can play an important role in preventing illness and injury, and
improving health over the long term. Two types of actions are critical - those that are designed
to encourage people to adopt healthier lifestyles such as programs to improve cardiovascular
health or reduce smoking, and those that are targeted at specific risks and preventing certain
illnesses through screening, immunization, and infant care.
