Bryan Evans Halina Sapeha Are non-government policy actors being heard? Assessing New Public Governance in three Canadian provinces Abstract: This article is based on select results taken from a survey of NGO and provincial government policy workers. The purpose is to provide an empirically based assessment of how government and non-government policy workers engage with one another in the policy process. The data suggest that policy co-construction and co-production are a significant feature of the process but there is some need for nuance. The data presented here indicate that the extent of policy engagement may not be as broadly inclusive as the proponents of New Governance suggest. Sommaire : Le pr esent article repose sur des r esultats s electionn es  a partir d’un sondage r ealis e aupr es d’ elaborateurs de politiques d’ONG et des gouvernements provinciaux. Il vise  a fournir une  evaluation empirique de la manie `re dont les  elaborateurs de politiques gouvernementaux et non gouvernementaux interagissent au cours du processus d’ elaboration de politiques. Les donn ees laissent entendre que la co-conception et la coproduction sont des caract eristiques importantes du processus mais qu’il existe un certain besoin de nuance. Les donn ees pr esent ees ici indiquent que la port ee de l’engagement politique n’est pas aussi inclusive que le laissent entendre les adeptes de la Nouvelle gouvernance. Introduction “Public policy governance” is one strand of New Public Governance (NPG) “concerned with how policy elites and networks interact to create and gov- ern the public policy process” (Osborne 2010: 6). This article is an investiga- tion of key questions and issues respecting engagement between policy workers in government and non-government organizations who engage with one another in the co-governance of public policy processes in the Canadian provincial context. The research presented here is limited, and the empirical gaps raise further questions.
