Scientific advice in government decision-making : the Canadian experience / project team: Janet E. Halliwell, JEH Associates Inc., William Smith, University of Auckland in association with Martin Walmsley...: Iu178-16/1999E-PDF

"The use of credible science is a well established and important part of decision-making within government at both federal and provincial levels. Understandably, how science is used and integrated into decision-making and policy takes different forms at different levels of government and in response to different needs. Program Review (1995), budget constraints, and recent and ongoing controversies in public policy have triggered widespread debates and active examination of policies and procedures for the use of science in decision-making"--Abstract, page 4.
