JSW006 - Treasury Board Simulation
Treasury Board Simulation
For most public servants, the process leading to budget decisions is a mysterious black box into which much material is sent and out of which seemingly incongruous decisions appear, usually with little or no explanation. Simple logistics limit the number of people that can actually witness the budget decision-making process, as well as the number of people who can benefit from the experience of “being in the room.” In this applied skills workshop participants will take part in a simulated Treasury Board as ministers completing a budget finalization exercise. You will also learn the chronology of the budget process, culminating in the final budget approval meeting.
