Moore-Butts: Do Advisory Councils Make A Difference Or Are They Just Show?
About this episode
The episode discusses the effectiveness of advisory councils in government, featuring insights from James Moore and Gerald Butts.
Amid much fanfare the government announced last week that it has established a new advisory council on trade with emphasis on the challenging situation with the United States. Looks impressive with some big names and a non partisan flavour. But do these work or are they just a gimmick? Former Harper cabinet minister James Moore and former Trudeau PMO adviser Gerald Butts have their thoughts.
