  • Income and Social Supports

    Open AccessGillian Petit, Lindsay Tedds et al.ARTICLECanadian Public Administration2026References: 27

    This article presents a systems‐based framework for the inclusive design of cash transfer programs in Canada. Grounded in the goal of enhancing inclusion through an intersectional lens, the framework integrates insights from policy design, empirical economics, and systems thinking. It emphasizes the importance of evaluating both individual‐level outcomes—such as adequacy, accessibility, and participation—and macro‐level impacts, including cost, l…

  • The Effect of Loosening Means‐Testing Requirements on Income Assistance Flows in British Columbia Canada

    Open AccessGillian Petit, Lindsay M TeddsARTICLEPoverty & Public Policy2024References: 1

    In Canada, eligibility for provincial income assistance requires applicants and recipients to pass a means test—they must have income and assets below a specified level. The “good policy” argument argues that strict means tests ensure those with sufficient income or assets cannot access nor continue on income assistance, keeping caseloads low. The “bad policy” argument argues that strict means tests reduce the ability of income assistance recipie…

  • A Basic Income for Nunavut

    Anna I Cameron, Anna Cameron et al.ARTICLECanadian Public Policy2024References: 1

    Au moyen de données sur les déclarations fiscales individuelles, les autrices ont simulé des revenus de base garantis au Nunavut. Elles ont déterminé le revenu de base réalisable en fonction du budget du Nunavut, qui permettrait de réduire le plus la pauvreté au moindre coût. Elles ont établi que le Nunavut pourrait adopter un modeste revenu de base à l'aide des « économies » réalisées grâce à l’élimination des crédits d'impôt et de l'aide au rev…

  • Igniting an Intersectional Shift in Public Policy Research (and Training)

    Lindsay M TeddsARTICLECanadian Public Policy2023Cited by: 2References: 16

    Tout au long des années 2010, l’une des principales préoccupations en ce qui concerne les politiques publiques et les débats sur celles-ci était la compréhension des sources d’inégalité, de même que le rôle du gouvernement dans la lutte contre l’inégalité des revenus. Bien que des progrès aient été réalisés, d’importantes lacunes subsistent en matière d’inégalité – lacunes qui vont bien au-delà de l’inégalité des revenus et que la pandémie de COV…

  • Canada's GBA+ framework in a (post)pandemic world

    Open AccessAnna I Cameron, Lindsay M TeddsARTICLECanadian Public Administration2023Cited by: 3References: 30

    This article traces the theoretical foundations, evolution, and limitations of Gender‐Based Analysis Plus (GBA+), which is the Government of Canada's primary framework for attending to diversity and inclusion in public policy. We argue that GBA+ is, in its current form, inadequate to guide ambitious and transformative policy in the post‐pandemic years given four interlocking issues: (1) a weak integration of intersectionality; (2) insufficient at…

  • The Effect of Differences in Treatment of the Canada Emergency Response Benefit across Provincial and Territorial Income Assistance Programs

    Gillian Petit, Lindsay M TeddsARTICLECanadian Public Policy2020Cited by: 4References: 4

    The Canada Emergency Response Benefit (CERB) is a temporary cash transfer program for workers who have reduced earnings due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some workers receiving the CERB also receive provincial or territorial income assistance. A lack of clear objectives and definitions related to the CERB has led to the CERB being treated very differently by provincial and territorial income assistance (IA) programs. We look at how these different tr…

  • Effects of the 2001 Extension of Paid Parental Leave Provisions on Birth Seasonality in Canada

    Janice Compton, Lindsay M TeddsARTICLECanadian Public Policy2016Cited by: 1References: 5

    It is well known that there exists a strong seasonal pattern in births and that the pattern differs across geographic regions. While historically this seasonal pattern has been linked to exogenous factors, modern birth seasonality patterns can also be explained by purposive choice. If birth month of a child is at least partially chosen by the parents then, by extension, it can also be expected that this can be influenced by anything that changes …

  • The Feasibility of Implementing a Congestion Charge on the Halifax Peninsula

    Catherine Althaus, Lindsay M Tedds et al.ARTICLECanadian Public Policy2011Cited by: 2References: 3

    Congestion charges pose a policy dilemma because of the need to balance the management of a quasi-public good along with the correction of negative externalities on the one hand against the needs of economic, demographic, and urban growth along with citizen acceptance on the other. The literature provides detailed rationale for congestion charges but minimal consideration on how to implement such charges. The purpose of this article is to expose …
