| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research project focused on the structure of public hearings of the Canadian royal commissions/ public inquiries system in the perspective of deliberative democracy. Commissions of inquiry have been an important instrument of policy change in Canada.This research project especially paid attention to the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline Inquiry, 1974-77, from the perspective of public participation through the hearing process. Public hearings have been a vital institution of commissions of inquiry but I point out through this research project that the particular way in which hearings were used in the MVPI process was unique and innovative.
