Topic #1: Choose a substantive policy instrument and examine an example of its use in Canada. How was the instrument defined? Why was it used?

Topic #2: Choose a procedural policy instrument and examine an example of its use in Canada. How was the instrument defined? Why was it used?

Compare the substantive and procedural policy instruments examined in your class presentations. What was the theoretical rationale for their use? How does this expectation compare with the actual rationale uncovered in the empirical circumstances you examined? and a procedural one. Examine their use in a Canadian policy sector. What does this tell us about theories of policy instrument choice?
