Welcome to GovMaker: The Podcast, a series exploring open policy and public sector innovation. Over the next 10 weeks, we have the privilege of discussing a very unique organization: the New Brunswick Social Policy Research Network. The late Honourable Andy Scott founded this organization to advance an innovative approach to public policy-making. With a focus on cross-sector collaboration, and evidence-based policy, the network played a significant role in shaping our thinking about how public policy is developed. We hope you'll join us!
