Research Methodology

CBAC utilizes three distinct phases in its preparation of advice to BMCC on its projects.

Phase I (Expert Input) CBAC commissions experts in pertinent fields to collect and analyze information on various aspects of the topic to identify and clarify the issues and options, and submit research papers or commissioned reports to the Committee.

Phase II (Stakeholder Consultations) CBAC releases a consultation document based on the information and analysis developed in phase I, followed by multi-stakeholder consultations designed to garner the views of Canadians involved in or with a particular interest in the topic. During this phase, CBAC seeks to validate the issues and options, impacts and effects, and to identify "values" that must be addressed in formulating advice. The phase is concluded by the release of an interim report containing draft recommendations.

Phase III (Public Consultations) CBAC solicits the views and comments of all Canadians and stakeholders on an interim report that contains draft recommendations. Phase III concludes with the issuing of a final report and recommendations taking into account all input received during this phase.
