A bit about the project:
Advancing CED policy is a difficult task. Part of this difficulty lies in understanding the channels through which policy decisions are made and the distinctions among different levels of policy. Another challenge is devising a strategy for convincing those who have power to implement policy that supports CED to actually do so. Even if good policy is adopted, there remains the additional task of seeing that it is adequately implemented. This paper sheds some light on these difficult undertakings in the Manitoba context.
While this paper took the Manitoba context as a case study of how policy works and how to advance it, the lessons here may well be useful for promoting policy in different regions across Canada. The review of what policy actually consists of should also be helpful for understanding policy in any jurisdiction, and it is hoped that the review of policy proposals for Manitoba provides a useful set of examples for the type of policy objectives that could be pursued elsewhere.
