Publication Types
The commission uses publications to educate its audiences, pose questions and report its recommendations.
Most projects have at least two publications: the consultation paper and report. But some projects also have background papers, position/options papers or an interim report.
The number and type of publications published will depend on the project and its relevance to the wider community.
