In this article, Karine Gentelet, professor at the Department of Social Sciences at the University of Quebec in Outaouais and Scientific Director, Collaboration with Civil Society at Obvia, advocates for the active involvement of citizens in the development of public policies and other legal frameworks, through democratic mechanisms.
