Collaborative Economy

The Working Group on the Collaborative Economy (WGCE) was to improve understanding of the issues raised by the collaborative economy and to spark open reflection by citizens and the government.

To fulfill this mandate, a consultation was held. The consultation process helped us get people engaged and raise awareness among a greater number of citizens and public and private organizations—a prerequisite for organizing a constructive public debate.
