Canadian engagement in global and public health includes a long history of centering issues of equity in practice, policy, and research. In 2015, through a series of deliberative dialogues about what ethical standards should guide how people engage in global health research, the Canadian Coalition for Global Health Research (CCGHR) released a set of six equity-centred principles and critically reflective questions. These principles offered a platform for identifying equity implications and choices about theories, methods, approaches, partnerships, or practices in global and public health. In 2022, as questions of how to unsettle systems of power and move beyond rhetorical efforts to advance equity action continue to grow, Canada's global public health research community is turning a critically reflexive gaze at our own practices and ways of working, recognizing excellence as necessarily integrating equity in research pursuits, processes, and outcomes. In this commentary, we reflect on the contexts that led to the evolution of the CCGHR Principles for Global Health Research and highlight their current reach and impact, including their integration in the Canadian Institutes Framework for Action on Global Health Research. We invite others to embrace a lifelong commitment to equity work as an act of solidarity and investment in our collective futures.
加拿大参与全球和公共卫生领域的工作，在实践、政策和研究中始终将公平问题作为核心。2015 年，通过一系列关于人们参与全球健康研究应遵循哪些伦理标准的审议性对话，加拿大全球健康研究联盟（CCGHR）提出了一套以公平为中心的六项原则和批判性反思问题。这些原则为确定全球和公共卫生领域的理论、方法、途径、伙伴关系或实践中的公平影响和选择提供了一个平台。2022 年，如何打破权力体系以及如何超越言辞努力推进公平行动的问题继续增加，加拿大全球公共卫生研究界正在对自身的实践和工作方式进行批判性反思，认识到卓越必须将公平纳入研究追求、过程和结果中。在这篇评论中，我们反思了导致 CCGHR 全球健康研究原则演变的背景，并强调了其当前的影响，包括它们在加拿大全球健康研究框架中的整合。我们邀请其他人将对公平工作的终身承诺视为团结的行为，并对我们的集体未来进行投资。
