The Council of Canadian Academies is dedicated to providing science advice in the public interest. From time to time, the Council undertakes a variety of shorter, specialized reports to further its mission. These reports follow the same guidelines of independent, evidence-based analysis and peer review that the Council's full assessments follow.
