Now in its eighth edition, Public Policy in Canada: An Introduction continues to navigate and examine the changing landscape of public policy in Canada. The structure of this classic text remains the same: Part I introduces concepts, theories, and approaches to Canadian public policy, while Part II offers a detailed examination of economic affairs, social programs, health care, the family, Indigenous Peoples, and the environment, highlighting the latest developments in each field.

This updated edition offers extended coverage of policy administration and the role of policy professionals as well as updated statistics throughout. Accessible writing accompanies an updated and expanded art program along with end-of-chapter discussion questions, a glossary of key terms, and annotated lists of relevant web resources that support and engage the reader.
