I don't really have any examples of what's being done elsewhere in the world.
At AgoraEU, for example, I don't know exactly how the funds are distributed and what the criteria are. In fact, it's still being set up, and I'm not sure they have the answer there either.
I think we have to look at the form of the technique. For example, in journalism, there is a code of ethics for what constitutes journalism. That kind of thing could also be applied to civic engagement.
When it comes to specific populations, I think it has to be rooted in data on under-representation and the demographics of certain populations. Elections Canada already does this for young people, newcomers and people with disabilities, for example.
In my opinion, when there are more targeted strategies, we really have to ensure that they are for populations that are under-represented in relation to their demographic weight.
