  • Risky Business: Policy Uncertainty, Institutional Insularity, and Learning in Canadian Provincial Energy Policy Making 2006-2016
    Risky Business: policy uncertainty, institutional insularity, and learning in Canadian provincial energy policy making 2006-2016. Heather Millar [email protected] Department of Political Science University of Toronto 100 St. George Street Toronto, ON, M5S 3G3 Prepared for the International Workshop on Public Policy University of Pittsburgh June 26th – 28th, 2018 Draft Working Paper: comments are welcome, please do not cite without author's permission. Abstract Policy learning scholarship has moved beyond describing typologies of learning to examine the dynamics of policy learning at micro, meso, and macro levels. Scholars have begun to theorize individual processes of cognition (Moyson 2016), linkages between individual and collective process of learning (Heikkila and Gerlak 2013), and organizational capacities necessary for policy change (Borrás 2011). Despite these advances, recent reviews have identified the need to specify necessary conditions of learning, particularly as to the role of knowledge claims and institutional structures in learning processes. This paper builds on Dunlop and Radaelli’s (2013) causal typology of modes of learning to operationalize measures for problem tractability and actor certification. The paper contends that problem tractability can be analyzed by measuring policy complexity and ambiguity, generating a typology of risk narratives that align with different modes of learning. To measure actor certification, the paper uses institutional insularity, suggesting that closed networks are more likely to support hierarchical and epistemic learning, while open structures facilitate more plural modes of bargaining and reflexive learning. Drawing on cases of hydraulic fracturing regulation in three Canadian provinces (2006-2016), the paper demonstrates that changes to institutional structures and/or risk narratives transforms dominant learning modes in each jurisdiction, resulting in changes to regulatory structures.

I hope none of you came to it - we did put it on our Facebook page that it was postponed. Thanks for coming. My name is Colin Dodds. I live in Halifax, and I’m the chair of the Nova Scotia Electoral Boundaries Commission, so will chair this afternoon’s public consultation. First let me acknowledge that we are on the unceded lands of the many First Nations of Nova Scotia. Before we actually commence formal proceedings, I would like to ask each of the commission members - we have seven of the nine with us this afternoon. Glenn could not be with us - he’s from Antigonish - and Mike, from Sydney.

  • Minister of Fisheries and Oceans
    Honourable Ron Chisholm Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture P.O. Box 2223 Halifax, NS B3J 3C4 January 9th, 2009 Dear Minister Chisholm, In June 2008, your Government announced its commitment to develop a Sustainable Coastal Development Strategy by 2010. We commend the government for taking on this significant initiative. We would like to be formally involved, in a consultative capacity, in the development of the Sustainable Coastal Development Strategy. We are requesting a meeting to discuss mechanisms whereby our input can be formally included in the process. The undersigned organizations support the development and implementation of a Sustainable Coastal Development strategy. Specifically, we expect the Strategy will address the following pressing coastal issues: deteriorating coastal water quality, the destruction of coastal ecosystems and habitats, the loss of marine biodiversity, protection of traditional fisheries, maintaining coastal access, and the vulnerability of our coastal areas to climate change. There is a pressing need for clearer, integrated governance and effective planning that involves the residents of coastal communities. An effective Coastal Development Strategy must result in action on the problems facing our coast. Given the sensitivity of Nova Scotia’s coasts to climate change impacts such as sea level rise, storm surges and accelerated erosion, the province should work with municipalities to reduce the vulnerability of our coastal communities to climate change. Secondly, we expect the Strategy to include federal-provincial-municipal cooperation and coordination on comprehensive land-use planning that addresses coastal issues through use of tools such as zoning, set-backs and the establishment of coastal marine protected areas within consistently applied and enforced regulations.
