A capstone element of our MPP program is the Policy Lab. As part of the Lab, sponsors were selected across government departments, corporations, and NGOs to provide a specific policy challenge.

This year, our MPP students worked in teams to tackle the circular economy, power purchase agreements, Canada's legal Cannabis industry, Canadian innovation policies, public transit, and senior housing.

Thanks to the 2020 Policy Lab sponsors: Ville de Montreal, Natural Resources Canada, World Bank, Canada Mortgage Housing Corporation, Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED), Health Canada, and Infrastructure Canada.
