Consultations

Consultation approach

We aspire to meaningful public and professional consultation relative to the impacts of changes being considered. Our consultation process is designed to be inclusive, relational, transparent and connected to outcomes. We use a structured decision-making pathway to determine when and how to consult, engage in targeted efforts, or provide notice in lieu of consultation. By following this approach, we ensure consistency and transparency in our approach to consultation.
