Through these partnerships, CMPA shared research and knowledge and contributed our expertise to help address systemic inequities and create a more inclusive healthcare environment in Canada. "Equity, diversity, and inclusion are vital to healthcare and CMPA has a responsibility to help mitigate bias and inequity in the services we provide and in our own workplace," stated Dr. Lisa Calder, CEO. Compensating patients When it's proven that negligent care has occurred, both doctors and their patients can be confident that the CMPA is there to provide appropriate compensation that reflects the long-term care needs of patients and their families. "In 2024, CMPA paid $322 million in compensation to patients proven harmed by negligent care, paid on behalf of members," said Dr. Birinder Singh, CMPA President. "Over the last 10 years, the Association has paid $2.5 billion in compensation to patients." Enhancing and promoting safe medical care Over the past year, the Association supported members with expert peer-to-peer guidance over 54,000 times, on the phone and online and delivered 300 learning events across Canada, attended by 13,150 Canadian physicians, allied healthcare professionals, and stakeholders. CMPA's Member Support Program provides personalized support and educational advice with demonstrable impacts on patient safety. "We're extremely proud of the Member Support Program, 96% of physician members surveyed took steps to improve their practice, and 100% of members who received coaching said there was a positive impact on their well-being." said Dr. Calder.

Trump frustrated as there's no flexibility from Russia: Marco Rubio
KUALA LUMPUR: US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Thursday that the US and Russia have exchanged new ideas for Ukraine peace talks after e met with his Russian counterpart in Malaysia Thursday. "I think it's a new and a different approach," Rubio told reporters after talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. "I wouldn't characterise it as something that guarantees a peace, but it's a concept that, you know, that I'll take back to the president." He didn't elaborate. Rubio added that President Donald Trump has been "disappointed and frustrated that there's not been more flexibility on the Russian side" to bring about an end to the conflict."We need to see a roadmap moving forward about how this conflict can conclude. And then we shared some ideas about what that might look like," he said of the 50-minute meeting. "We're going to continue to stay involved where we see opportunities to make a difference." The two men held talks in Kuala Lumpur on the sidelines of the annual Association of Southeast Asian Nations Regional Forum, which brings together 10 ASEAN members and their most important diplomatic partners including Russia, China, Japan, South Korea, European nations and the US. The meeting was their second since Rubio took office, although they have spoken by phone several times. Their first meeting took place in February in Saudi Arabia, as the Trump administration sought to test Russia and Ukraine on their willingness to make peace.
