Monthly Insights papers

Our Analysis, Insights and Reporting team prepares in-depth insights papers on a specific topic. The purpose is to embed the insights discovered across the work of the Commission and to share findings with relevant stakeholders. 

These strategic insights often acknowledge the rich, tacit knowledge that our teams hold, the many unique relationships we have formed with various stakeholders over time as well as the various ways in which we as a Commission engage with subject matter. Insights papers are intended to assist in effectively communicating potential emerging and current issues to support decisions about whether further review is required.
