This article compares the role of citizens in public reporting exercises of C anada's N ational C hild B enefit and health care service delivery to that of the E uropean U nion's open method of coordination ( OMC ) for social protection and social inclusion. It finds that the institutional infrastructure providing for coordination across social policy areas and possible roles for non‐governmental actors in policy development is more extensive in the OMC than in the “new modes of governance” in C anada. However, there are obstacles to developing such infrastructure in C anada, given the different histories and political contexts of the E uropean community and the functioning of federalism in C anada
