Canadian Commission on Democratic Expression

The Canadian Commission on Democratic Expression is a three-year initiative that aims to respond to the democratic risks of digital technologies.

Each year, the Commission undertakes a six-month program of study and deliberation informed by expert testimony and custom research organized by the Centre for Media, Technology and Democracy.

Created by the Public Policy Forum and funded by the Government of Canada and the McConnell Foundation, the Commission is composed of a small group of eminent Canadians appointed annually to serve as Commissioners. It is also supported by national Citizens' Assemblies led by MASS LBP, a Canadian organization that designs deliberative processes.
