Despite the propagation of guidelines in recent decades, their legal effects are often difficult to classify. Clearly, guidelines are neither legislation nor delegated or subordinate legislation, but they are nonetheless designed to influence people's behaviour. Distinguishing binding from non-binding guidelines is an important issue because the permissible scope of their use often depends on bindingness. Yet there is no analytical framework available to determine bindingness. To fill this gap in the literature, I develop an analytical framework consisting of three indicia which help to distinguish binding guidelines from non-binding guidelines: the presence or absence of imperative language, the level of detail and precision and the extent of effects on third parties. With the help of numerous examples drawn from the Canadian legal system, I explain how to distinguish binding from non-binding guidelines, bringing analytical clarity to an important area of contemporary public administration.</p>","PeriodicalId":46145,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Public Administration-Administration Publique Du Canada","volume":"66 2","pages":"211-229"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/capa.12519","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"50147435","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}

Based on a historical neo-institutionalism approach, this article suggests that the pandemic has propelled the expansion of telework reforms, becoming a key driver in altering the application of both telework and hybrid policies.

{"title":"Access to information research in the digital era","authors":"Alex Luscombe,&nbsp;Jamie Duncan","doi":"10.1111/capa.12518","DOIUrl":"10.1111/capa.12518","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;In the four decades since Canada's &lt;i&gt;Access to Information Act&lt;/i&gt; (1983) came into force, the massive proliferation of digital technologies has prompted significant transformations in the operations of modern governments. The impacts of this digital era on access to information (ATI) research in Canada—by which we mean both research &lt;i&gt;on&lt;/i&gt; ATI law (and its administration) as well as research &lt;i&gt;using&lt;/i&gt; ATI law (to generate data)—have not received the scholarly attention they deserve. In this short article, we focus on describing the pervasive digital environment that Canada's ATI system operates in and what this means for future ATI research and practice. We begin by tracing how the digitization of government has caused shifts in the administration of Canada's ATI regime before reflecting on some of the implications of these changes for the current and future state of ATI research. A core point of contention is that the future of ATI in Canada and elsewhere is productively understood through the lens of data politics—the notion that all decisions to collect, share, or use data are intractably political (Bigo et al., &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;). We conclude by proposing several research questions that can help guide future ATI research in the era of digital government.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The production and control of information is tantamount to the everyday work of governance (Pettigrew, &lt;span&gt;1972&lt;/span&gt;). In the era of “digital government” (Clarke et al., &lt;span&gt;2017&lt;/span&gt;; Lindquist, &lt;span&gt;2022&lt;/span&gt;), it is increasingly difficult if not impossible to think of a single governance function that is not digitized in some way. As many early proponents of “e-government” argued (Silcock, &lt;span&gt;2001&lt;/span&gt;), the adoption of digital technologies in the public sector can enable more effective, democratic, and participatory bureaucratic processes. At the same time, trends in digital government “challenge traditional notions of administration, management, organization, accountability, and engagement” in ways not yet fully examined and understood by academic researchers (Gil-Garcia et al., &lt;span&gt;2018&lt;/span&gt;: 633). The digitization of Canadian governance is reshaping the use and administration of federal ATI law in at least two ways.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, the information that governments produce, both for purposes of internal and external communication, is increasingly “born-digital” (DeLuca, &lt;span&gt;2020&lt;/span&gt;: 5). Regarding ATI, this has implications for how government information is preserved, retrieved, and processed for disclosure. To reduce burdens to the ATI system, it is now more feasible to release large volumes of information through proactive disclosure. The Trudeau government's most recent &lt;i&gt;Access to Information Act&lt;/i&gt; reform bill, which achieved royal assent in 2018, introduced into Canadian law “the principle of ‘open by default’ in the digital age by making key information available proactively, without the need to make a request” (Canada, &lt;span&gt;2019&lt;/span&gt;; ","PeriodicalId":46145,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Public Administration-Administration Publique Du Canada","volume":"66 2","pages":"268-276"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/capa.12518","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48419571","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}
