Public Policy Responses to the Pandemic, and Building Back Better is an interdisciplinary virtual learning experience about the Canadian policy responses to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the debate around whether, and how, to “build back better” — to use the occasion of the pandemic to bring in other fundamental policy reforms.
You will learn the economic and social impacts of, and responses to, COVID-19 in Ontario and across Canada — as well as the ideas, tools, and skills available for each of us to shape the recovery.
Together we will explore a variety of topics: how long-term and temporary income support programs provided assistance for basic living expenses and helped prepare individuals for finding work; what gaps and perspectives are missing in the health and healthcare system to help us understand the transmission and spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 and SARS; what we need to do to help people inform themselves and not be misled; and whether Canada should, or even can, radically rethink some of its policies coming out of the pandemic.
