For many people, appearing before a Parliamentary Committee is a simple exercise in answering questions by providing data and information points. For others, it is an opportunity to engage decision-makers and other key audiences around ideas and actions. It is a chance for the organization appearing before the committee to communicate the meaning of the data and build trust and support with those individuals and groups whose support they need if they are to succeed in their mission. This course focuses on the latter approach.

Our Parliamentary Committee Appearances Workshop will help the person appearing, as well as those who support them, to build trust and support with parliamentarians, and to further connect with the public service, the news media, stakeholders and the public.
