A unilateral environmental federalism approach supported the enactment of the CWA and reinforced the new two-prong regulatory strategy (i.e., CWA and the Fisheries Act) to manage water pollution. This article explores the historical enactment of the CWA through the lens of federalism and the views of parliamentarians. The legislative debates reveal how different modes of federalism play out in the legislation, beyond the dominant theme of cooperative federalism.</p>","PeriodicalId":46145,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Public Administration-Administration Publique Du Canada","volume":"67 3","pages":"344-360"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/capa.12581","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142324449","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

With these ongoing investigations as its backdrop, this article analyzes patterns in federal government IT procurement between 2017 and 2022, drawing on a comprehensive analysis of the federal contracting open dataset. We reveal that the federal government betrays accepted best practice in modern government IT procurement on several key dimensions, including on contract values and lengths; on the diversity of suppliers; on the source of IT expertise; and in the management of intellectual property. We argue that the Canadian approach to IT procurement is an historically overlooked but crucial driver of its failing digital reform efforts. We conclude by turning to IT procurement policy reforms gaining traction outside Canada that may help the Government of Canada improve how it buys and deploys IT going forward—a task we argue is essential if the government wants to avoid future IT contracting scandals and deliver on its long-standing promise of digital era modernization.</p>","PeriodicalId":46145,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Public Administration-Administration Publique Du Canada","volume":"67 3","pages":"297-325"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/capa.12577","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142324557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research note examines the experience that political staff bring to their positions and where they find employment after leaving ministerial offices, using archived staff directories across four governments (NDP, Liberal and two Progressive Conservative administrations) in Ontario, Canada and cross-referencing names using LinkedIn. In total, we explore career progression of 1,153 political staff who have employment information publicly available on LinkedIn. Many take these roles having remarkably diverse backgrounds, including finance, law, academia, business and, even, other roles in the public service. Upon leaving political service, some choose to join the non-partisan ranks of public servants. Many leaving government head towards government relations firms to use their skills and experience to advance their careers.

It also uncovers the gaps in evidence and where lived experience stands to benefit policymaking. The rising level of encampments, homelessness, and housing unaffordability in Canada emphasize the need to consider how and where lived experiences of homelessness are included. This article interrogates the inclusion of lived experiences of homelessness in three specific domains: research, policy, and advocacy. Our findings from systematic reviews of each area reveal an evidence-policy gap in homelessness policy and governance. Across all three domains, scholars and practitioners alike often fail to explicitly include lived experience to inform their efforts. Enhanced coordination and policy learning across and between the domains can offer a pathway to measurably improve policy effectiveness.</p>","PeriodicalId":46145,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Public Administration-Administration Publique Du Canada","volume":"67 3","pages":"361-387"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/capa.12579","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142324457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Where is the Public Service in Career Plateau Research?","authors":"Sean Darling","doi":"10.1111/capa.12576","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/capa.12576","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Over 40 years ago Ference et al. (&lt;span&gt;1977&lt;/span&gt;) published the first study on career plateau which would guide scores of subsequent studies. The concept of career plateau was put forward as a counter point to the earlier proposition expressed in the “Peter Principle” (Peter &amp; Hull, &lt;span&gt;1969&lt;/span&gt;), which suggested promotion to the level of one's incompetence was a management norm. Causes of career plateau obviously exist beyond the Peter Principle and can include such things as the pyramidal structure of organizations (e.g. Ference et al., &lt;span&gt;1977&lt;/span&gt;), life plateaus (e.g. Bardwick, &lt;span&gt;1986&lt;/span&gt;) and discrimination in hiring and promotion based on a myriad of causes such as race (e.g. Jones et al., &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Zschirnt &amp; Ruedin, &lt;span&gt;2016&lt;/span&gt;), gender (e.g. Davison &amp; Burke, &lt;span&gt;2000&lt;/span&gt;; Jones et al., &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Koch et al., &lt;span&gt;2015&lt;/span&gt;), disability (e.g. Jones et al., &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;) and other forms of bias and favoritism (e.g. Darling &amp; Cunningham, &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;However, despite the significant research on career plateau, there is a lack of focus on the public sector. This article attempts to identify and explore this lack of focus and argue why this is important. Before doing so, it analyzes the existing empirical studies of career plateau, identifying the types of plateaus researched, the predominate methodological approaches to studying it, the established impacts on individuals who are career plateaued, and the recommended actions individuals and organizations can take in response to it. What follows puts forward the argument that understanding and responding to career plateau in the public service cannot rely on research taken from the private sector and concludes with suggestions for future research tailored to filling the public service career plateau research gap.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Despite the considerable volume of research on career plateau, there is a lack of focus on the public service. There are only a handful of career plateau studies focused solely on the core public service (e.g. Allen et al., &lt;span&gt;1998&lt;/span&gt;; Allen et al., &lt;span&gt;1999&lt;/span&gt;; Darling &amp; Cunningham, &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;, &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). Out of 72 studies included in the systematic review by Yang et al. (&lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;) only 5 (14%) involved samples taken exclusively from the core public service with Darling's (&lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;) systematic review revealing a similarly low number of 6.5% of the 46 studies focused on the core public service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Darling (&lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;) explored the mix of sectors represented in the research. Out of all the studies for which it was possible to identify the sector of the sample population, 51% were private sector studies. A further 20% of the studies involved a mix of public and private sector organizations with most of these studies gathering the largest portion of their data from the private sector.
