"CHRC addresses an important problem, with information on the Canadian health care system not well indexed or distributed. Much useful information is hidden in technical reports of research bodies, varying from university research institutes to think tanks such as the Fraser Institute.

Even though many are available in electronic form on the Internet, these publications are difficult for libraries to make accessible."
