Public Lecture on Bill C-377: Working in the Shadows for Transparency

This public lecture was presented by University of Regina faculty members Sean Tucker and Andrew Stevens. They explain the generation of public and political support for C-377 by examining the connection between an influential 2011 LabourWatch-sponsored Nanos Research poll that reported 83% of Canadians supported public disclosure of union financial information, the Conservative government’s anti-union agenda, and the political economy of polling agencies in Canada. The full title is: Working in the Shadows for Transparency: Russ Hiebert, LabourWatch, Nanos Research and the Making of Bill C-377.
