Stakeholder Engagement: Building Democratic Legitimacy Through Inclusive Policy-Making
Explore how Canadian governments consult citizens, Indigenous communities, and interest groups to create durable, legitimate public policy through structured engagement processes.
What You'll Learn
Stakeholder engagement builds democratic legitimacy through inclusive policy consultation processes.
The duty to consult obligates the Crown regarding Indigenous peoples' constitutional rights.
Formal mechanisms include hearings, assessments, and the Canada Gazette consultation process.
Tokenistic consultation undermines policy legitimacy when stakeholder input is systematically ignored.

3
Learners evaluate equity, transparency, and legitimacy within multi-stakeholder engagement processes.
