I was wondering whether any of you are members, or have any insights into 
the Conference Board of Canada's new executive network called the Roundtable 
on Socio-Economic Determinants of Health?  Here is an exerpt from their 
website:

Background
This new executive network will bring together national leaders in the 
health, education, social services, economics, corrections, Aboriginal, and 
policing sub-sectors to examine the issues related to social and economic 
determinants of health. Provincial and federal government ministries will 
help lead a participant group that will consist of many social and health 
related sub-sectors. The intent is to conduct research that will examine the 
conditions that allow for positive action plans to address issues related to 
poverty, poor housing conditions, low literacy, and other challenges that 
specific populations in Canada face.

 Current Members include:
Public Health Agency of Canada
Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation
 Alberta Human Resources and Employment
 Saskatchewan Community Resources and Employment
 Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services
 Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion
 Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing
 Alberta Mental Health Board
 Human Resources and Social Development Canada

 **The fee for membership is $10,275 per year for federal and provincial 
departments, and $3,475 for non-government organizations.
