Commissioned evidence syntheses

The CCA received a Strategic Initiatives Fund grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). Using this funding, it engaged external experts to synthesize evidence in order to provide new insights into various aspects of the charge; the evidence was considered by the panel and allowed for a deeper analysis of key issues. The papers are as follows:
