It then considers the implications of such a strategy for the working models of canadian federalism. The ideas, structure, and process of developing the canadian strategy for cancer control involver a new model for the conduct of intergovernmental and inter-sectoral relations, an approach we can call deliberative federalism. In this model, interest groups, professional associations, and other social actors are part of the modern state alongside cabinet parliamentary governmnet and federalism. As a multiple partnership arrangement, non-governmental agencies, health professionals, and cancer survivors and families. Adopting a strategy for cancer control is thus an opportunity to modernize the management of chronic diseases and to further demcratize the conduct of intergovernmental relations
