A Canadian Algorithmic Impact Assessment – Supergovernance – Medium

Caveat: In an effort to be open about the policy design process, I'm offering this personal perspective. There is no consensus that the approach described below is the way forward, and it may change 1000 times before its finalized. Policy making is sausage making after all. In fact, we do so much, that despite 11 years in the federal public service -- four in a central agency -- I still find myself continually surprised to discover how limited my perspective is of the breadth of government programming, even from my vantage in the ivory tower. You can see for yourself; the GC Infobase provides a visualization of this complexity broken down by spending, and one can get lost in the complexity very quickly.
