Policy challenge finalist winner Angèle Lucie Poirier, who is pursuing a Master of Arts in Economics at the University of Regina, centred her project on analyzing the behaviours of consumers of recreational cannabis in Canada. Given that there are two competing markets -- legal and illicit -- she determined policy could be informed by knowing which groups have a greater propensity toward legal versus illicit recreational cannabis.

Key Points: 
  • The CRDCN's Canadian National Policy Challenge is even more critical this year in helping researchers hone their use of microdata in developing innovative, evidence-driven policy solutions.
  • "The National Policy Challenge is a creative and innovative event allowing students to display their analytics talent and research to potential employers."
  • They presented their policy and research data in front of a panel of judges from the CRDCN, Statistics Canada and SAS Canada:
