(title above links directly to the Canadian Public Documents Collection hosted in Scholars Portal Books)
Publications from Canadian public policy institutes, government agencies, advocacy groups, think-tanks, university research centres and other public interest groups.
RECOMMENDATION: Start by searching "anywhere" (in the drop down menu) for your topic and you can limit the results to items published within a specific time range (years of publication). If you have too many results, you can change the search formula by selecting "keyword" in the drop down menu (instead of "anywhere").
Start from the same Scholars Portal Books search for Canadian Public Documents (above) but change the Collection to "Canadian Think Tanks" (as shown below).
RECOMMENDATION: search in anywhere (in the drop down menu) for your topic. The year limit is problematic, you can sort by "Recently Published" and scroll through the results.
