Canada uses a federal form of democratic government that brings together a number of different political communities under a common government for mutual purposes, and separate regional governments for the particular needs of each region. This form of government takes into account Canada`s geographical realities, the diversity of its cultural communities and its dual legal and linguistic heritage. Canada has three levels of government: federal, provincial and territorial, and municipal (local or regional). Within the federal structure, elected officials – the Cabinet of ministers under the leadership of the Prime Minister – make up the chief decision-making body. The federal government leads the country`s democratic system of governance through consultations with other elected officials, provincial and municipal representatives, and the Canadian public. The principal role of the Canadian government is to ensure and support the country`s economic performance. Its other responsibilities include national defence, interprovincial and international trade and commerce, immigration, banking and the monetary system, criminal law and fisheries. The federal government also oversees such industries as aeronautics, shipping, railways, telecommunications and atomic energy.

Since its 1976 establishment, the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General has been at the forefront of the Nation`s efforts to fight waste, fraud and abuse in and improve the efficiency of HHS programs. A majority of OIG`s resources goes toward the oversight of Medicare and Medicaid — programs that represent a significant part of the Federal budget and that affect this country`s most vulnerable citizens. OIG`s oversight extends to programs under other HHS institutions, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Institutes of Health, and the Food and Drug Administration. OIG carries out its mission using a multidisciplinary, collaborative approach, with each of our six components playing a vital role. A nationwide network of audits, investigations, and evaluations results in timely information as well as cost-saving or policy recommendations for decision-makers and the public. That network also assists in the development of cases for criminal, civil and administrative enforcement. OIG also develops and distributes resources to assist the health care industry in its efforts to comply with the nation`s fraud and abuse laws and to educate the public about fraudulent schemes so they can protect themselves and report suspicious activities.
