	THE CRTC’S ROLE IN CANADA 3.0
	Sheridan Scott What should be the renewed mandate and toolbox of the CRTC in the 3.0 digital economy? Canadian content, public broadcasting, local broadcasting and other issues are reviewed. The case for the government taking the lead in the development of a holistic strategy for the digital economy is made.

	CORPORATE GOVERNANCE: AN X-RAY
	Gilles Paquet Some simplistic models of corporate governance are in good currency. Oliver Williamson has proposed a more complex way to approach hybrid organizations with baroque governance. This is likely to require nothing less than a re-invention of corporate governance.

	HIGH PERFORMANCE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR
	Gregory Richards, Murray Kronick, Harry Lake This paper identifies five key characteristics of high performance organizations on the basis of models in good currency. Then it reports on interviews with senior managers in the Canadian federal public service to decipher how they would interpret these key characteristics within a public sector context.

	LETTER FROM THE EDITOR IN CHIEF
	Gilles Paquet

	SARS, PUBLIC HEALTH, AND NETWORK GOVERNANCE
	Claude Rocan, Ph.D. An examination of post-mortem analyses of SARS as a public health issue reveals two apparently incompatible models of governance for public health. Network governance would appear to provide a credible reconciliation of these perspectives

	DEMOCRACY AND COMPLEXITY : REJOINDER TO GILLES PAQUET
	Éric Forgues It is suggested that the new public governance model proposed by Gilles Paquet might need to be complemented by an institutional framework to ensure democratic legitimacy and to prevent the system falling prey to the immediate interests of stakeholders.

	DEMOCRATIC IDEAL AND OTHER MIRAGES: RESPONSE TO ÉRIC FORGUES
	Gilles Paquet Coordination is a challenge when there is a multiplicity of loci of governance. However this does not require the creation of a centralized institutional fixture or other mirages to ensure legitimacy. Open access social learning suffices.
