"In 2019, Ottawa created a task force that looked at the state of chronic pain, finding it has a "tremendous impact" on the economy, with direct and indirect costs that totalled nearly $40.3 billion that year."

"Pain Canada tracks the progress of the action plan on its website. **Only one** of the report's recommendations has been completed as of June, but as many as 120 recommendations are in progress."
