“…This learning is termed ‘transformative’ in that it leads people to changing their assumptions (or beliefs), including about whether the place where they live is safe, and whether the actions undertaken in the past were effective. Such changes in people's beliefs are crucial for people to take deliberative, collective actions and thus improve preventive and precautionary measures, and/or recover and build forward better in their localities, and thus achieve sustainability transformation (Imperiale & Vanclay, 2016a, 2021a; Lee & Morling, 2022; Martin & Mullan, 2021; Wilson, 2012).…”

Enhancing disaster risk reduction (DRR) and community resilience are fundamental for sustainable development. However, cultural and political‐institutional barriers hinder governments from progressing towards sustainability. We propose a redesign of social impact assessment (SIA) to make it more applicable to the field of regional and urban planning, and we discuss the role SIA can have in enhancing community resilience to achieve DRR and sustainable development in localities. We argue that, to convert SIA into a tool that can inform regional recovery and development planning, a rethinking of SIA and of the role of SIA practitioners is needed. We therefore expound the SIA Framework for Action and we enhance it to be a community‐based process focussed on informing regional policies and plans and decisions about the projects to be included in such plans. Application of the SIA Framework for Action will help governments overcome the barriers to DRR and sustainable development.

The federal spending power: Building forward after the pandemic

The phrase, “the federal spending power,” identifies the federal government’s ability to spend in areas beyond its constitutional authority to legislate—a power that has supported the development of a national system of universal healthcare coverage in Canada. Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, this power was critical to the expansion of Canada’s narrow but deep basket of universally covered services. The challenges exposed by the pandemic mean that still more federal investment will be required. Yet for traditionalists, the material basis of this power is now constrained: the federal government may possess the constitutional authority to invest, but it lacks the fiscal capacity; some form of belt tightening—even austerity—will be necessary. As debates over public spending intensify, health leaders will need to address these questions. Depending on how they do so, health leaders will either support or detract from a healthy recovery.

“…4 Others have called for the strengthening of public institutions that promote the rule of law, protection of human rights and the environment, as well as the pursuit of a more inclusive, greener and resilient future through domestic and global partnerships focused on sustainable development. 5 , 6 Such aspiration will require greater efforts to eradicate the socio-economic inequalities and wider determinants of health that exist in our societies, beyond just addressing health equity issues.…”
