Public engagement

Public engagement is a planned process that gathers input from the public to use in decision making. The process evolves over time. It gathers input that cannot be obtained from other government interactions with the public. Public engagement is all about helping the government with decision-making and should not happen in absence of a decision. 

When the Government of Yukon has a legal obligation to consult with an Indigenous government or group, this is referred to as a consultation, not a public engagement.
