Résumé

This case study focuses on how the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment combined consultative processes with federal provincial negotiations to develop a policy for reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides, and volatile organic compounds.

As a result, too little attention was devoted to the question of how regulatory capacities can be continuously improved
