Social Enterprise as a Pathway to Work, Wellness and Social Inclusion for Canadians with Mental Illnesses and/or Substance-Use Disorders’
People with serious and persistent mental illnesses and/or substance use disorders are among the most economically and socially disenfranchised populations in Canada, and often present with long histories of labour market detachment and underemployment. Work engagement has the potential to improve social determinants of health while also harnessing productive capacity. This article reports on a five-year study examining the social, economic, and …
Improving Interactions
A well‐functioning policy process requires a responsible public service that supports the government and implements its decisions, and a representative legislature that holds the executive to account for policy decisions and actions. Reform of either the public sector or Parliament alone is insufficient to ensure that the relationship between the two bodies works to the benefit of Canadians as intended. This article explores that relationship usi…
Super‐users and hyper‐experts in the provision of policy advice
The relationships of influence and activity between academics and other actors (public, private, and non‐governmental) in the policy process are complex. Although older work often argued academic research at best had an indirect “environmental” or “enlightenment” effect on policy‐makers, (May et al. (2016). Journal of Public Policy, 36, 195) recently argued that in the US case previous studies misconstrued the role of academic policy advice becau…
Executive‐parliamentary relations in Canada
The pandemic caused governments worldwide to respond quickly to a greater array of health, economic and social issues in a more concentrated time span than previously. The Canadian public sector had developed many of the tools needed to act with agility to support the government agenda response to these challenges. With the consent of political parties, Parliament modified its operations and passed empowering legislation to provide the executive …
Teaching public administration in the Covid‐19 era
Beyond Covid‐19
Several Canadian and international scholars offer commentaries on the implications of the COVID‐19 pandemic for governments and public service institutions, and fruitful directions for public administration research and practice. This first suite of commentaries focuses on the executive branch, variously considering: the challenge for governments to balance demands for accountability and learning while rethinking policy mixes as social solidarity…
Government and Non-profit Collaboration in Times of Deliverology, Policy Innovation Laboratories and Hubs, and New Public Governance
This article investigates the implications of the move from public administration to new public management to new public governance for relations between the state and non-profit organizations using the example of the development of policy hubs and innovation laboratories under the operational theory of deliverology. Much of the literature suggests that the move towards these collaborative arrangements is providing non-profits with more access an…
Financial capacity of First Nations in Canada
This article analyzes the financial capacity of First Nations in Canada using data contained in the audit information on the First Nation Financial Transparency Act (FNFTA) website for fiscal years 2013‐2014 through 2016‐2017 inclusive. Our analysis tackles three connected questions: What is the general state of First Nations finances? Are there recurrent issues with financial practices? Are principles of good government and good management, espe…
Academic research and engagement with the Canadian public service
This article explores the area of research engagement between two very important communities in the Canadian public policy landscape: academics and senior public service executives. Using data from three surveys, we argue that while public sector executives may be more receptive to academic research than the literature suggests, academic advice and knowledge remain underutilized. While there does not seem to be a strong cleavage between the two g…
The Politics of Asymmetrical Federalism
This article argues that while asymmetrical arrangements among the units of any federation are necessary and even desirable, federal encroachments on provincial jurisdiction in Canada over the past few decades have triggered a protective impulse in the provinces that has resulted in a multiplication of deals recognizing provincial differences. The nature and variety of such arrangements are undermining the sense of federal comity, goodwill, and u…
Women's Legal Strategies in Canada
Women's Legal Strategies in Canada, Radha Jhappan, ed., Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 2002, pp. ix, 407After more than two decades of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, it is only appropriate that feminist scholars would turn a critical eye to the achievements for social justice obtained through the courts. In this collection of nine essays, the authors grapple with the difficult question of whether the courts have done more har…
Enlivening Political Science Courses with Kolb's Learning Preference Model
M ost political science professors hope their courses will produce graduates with well-developed critical-thinking and problem-solving abilities, but many report frustration at not being able to meet this goal with all, or even most, of their undergraduate students. Among the many possible reasons for this frustration is a mismatch between the professor's learning preferences, which may determine his or her teaching style, and the students' learn…
The Economic Consequences of Quebec Sovereignty
The politics of aboriginal self‐government
This paper examines the failure and success of aboriginal self‐government during the 1982–87 period by focusing on the constitutional talks, their impact on the federal and provincial governments, and the resultant activity of those governments. The paper begins with a brief account of the emergence of aboriginal self‐government onto the constitutional table. The paper then analyses the consequences of the emphasis on constitutional change and th…
The Nonprofit Sector and Government in a New Century
At the dawn of a new century, the third sector has become increasingly embedded in the business of government in Canada. What is the nature of this relationship? What does it forecast for Canadian public policy? This collection of essays, the second in the Public Policy and the Third Sector series, analyses the role of the nonprofit sector and its links with both the state and society in Canada. The Nonprofit Sector and Government in a New Centur…
Booze, Cigarettes, and Constitutional Dust-Ups
