It outlines, for the reader who wants to dive into it, definitions of the different types of citizen participation: public, electoral, social. In order to better understand what is practiced in Quebec in each of these categories, the reader will turn to The authorities of public participation in Quebec.Are you a practitioner or would you like to deepen your knowledge of the practice of citizen participation?
