  • A good conversation; brings policy ‘alive’

    This is a great podcast. The topics are a good mix of what’s important in Canada. A really great way to stay informed about what’s going on in policy and business.

This Public Policy Forum podcast series is timely and articulate in highlighting the value of policy development in crisis times like these.
