Public Consultations

Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) is committed to consulting with Canadians on the issues that affect their daily lives.  Through consultations, the department gains a greater understanding of the perspectives of a wide range of citizens, stakeholders and experts and therefore develops better, more informed and more effective policies and programs for Canadians.
