Letter to M.P. Lena Diab regarding concerns regarding the proposed changes to the Interim Federal Health Program and impacts on refugee children - Letter to The Honourable Lena Diab, P.C., M.P. February 9, 2026 The Honourable Lena Diab, P.C., M.P. Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship IRCC.Minister-Ministre.IRCC@cic.gc.ca Ottawa, Ontario Re: Concerns regarding the proposed changes to the Interim Federal Health Program and impacts on refugee children Dear Minister Diab, I am writing on behalf of Children’s Healthcare Canada and the Pediatric Chairs of Canada, two organizations representing organizations and academic leaders that deliver specialized healthcare to children and youth across the country, to express concern regarding the proposed changes to the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) and their potential impact on refugee children and families. It is widely recognized that children make up approximately 25 per cent of refugee populations. As such, any changes to the IFHP have significant implications for child health, pediatric care delivery, and the long-term wellbeing of families seeking safety and stability in Canada. Our members—including children’s hospitals, community hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and mental health agencies—are concerned about how the introduction of co-payments could affect access to essential care for refugee children and youth. For families with limited or no income, even relatively small fees can create meaningful barriers to accessing medications, mental health supports, dental and vision care, and other necessary services. Delays or interruptions in care during childhood can have lasting consequences for health outcomes, development, and social integration. In addition, the collection of co-payments risks placing further administrative burden on already stretched healthcare and allied health professionals. Managing billing, payments, and eligibility checks could complicate service delivery, divert clinical resources, and potentially delay or discourage access to care for vulnerable children and families. Our members also worry that reduced access to timely, preventive, and community-based care will result in more children presenting later with advanced or preventable conditions—leading to avoidable hospitalizations, increased strain on pediatric services, and higher overall system costs. These outcomes would be both harmful and avoidable. Children’s Healthcare Canada and the Pediatric Chairs of Canada urge the government to reconsider these changes and to work collaboratively with health providers and patients to ensure the IFHP remains accessible, effective, and aligned with Canada’s commitments to equity and public health.

Michaud This award recognizes excellent in leadership which is primarily demonstrated through outstanding leadership in the development of environments that foster opportunity for child and youth health research. Dr. Michaud is a highly distinguished researcher both nationally and internationally in the field of neuro-developmental disorders (NDDs) and medical genetics in general. He is a world-renowned expert on the genetic basis of NDDs and his team has discovered more than 20 genes associated with these disorders. He has also demonstrated that spontaneous mutations are a major cause of intellectual disability (ID). His pioneering work on clinical genomics has led to the establishment of the Quebec Center for Clinical Genomics and the implementation of genomic tests in the clinic for the more rapid and accurate diagnosis of rare diseases. Dr. Michaud is also studying the function of some NDD genes with the goal of developing rational therapeutic strategies. His pioneering work on de novo mutations led to the identification of SYNGAP1 as the first dominant gene associated with non-syndromic ID. His cutting-edge research and expertise in SYNGAP1 led to an ERA-NET-funded collaboration with European groups, which is centered on the study of SYNGAP1 function in human neurons derived from induced pluripoten stem cells (iPSC). In addition, Dr. Michaud has shown that gain-of-function mutations in the retinoic receptor type beta cause a form of ID associated with severe motor impairment. He has recently generated a mouse model that recapitulates the phenotype of the patients. He is currently leading an international consortium, funded through the highly competitive E-Rare program, to study the mechanisms underlying RARB function in this model.
