This article aims at analyzing the evolution of the delineation work of what accountants recognize as social flows within national social budgets, as well as social protection accounts. Using methods of account keeping, we try to restore dynamics of justification regarding the separation of social benefits from labor remuneration. Based on the essentialization of the redistributive role of the flows managed by social protection, this distinction structures the rationalization discourse of statistical procedures up to the 1970s. However, it has been progressively damaged through the rise of a dualistic approach of social benefits opposing social assistances resources to contributory benefits within social flows.

This research note examines the Canadian public health and security policies during the 2009-2010 H1N1 pandemic in order to situate them in the broader context of global health governance. By focusing on criticisms and recommendations expressed in relation to the Canadian experience of the management of the H1N1 pandemic, we seek to analyze the policy responses of Canada regarding this health crisis by establishing a comparison between the Canadian assessments of the pandemic and those made by other countries and organizations. By analysing Canadian evaluation reports, and situating them in the broader context of the international criticisms made to WHO, we argue that, in the context of the globalization of health risks and the proliferation of transnational actors, Canada has not been able to adequately take into account the role of the private sector in public health policies as well as its consequences on the nature of health governance.
