How to find policy documents?
Include words that relate to policy in your searches; examples: policy, policies, government, etc.
Use Newspaper databases (e.g. Lexis Nexis) to search for reports about government policy issues and debates; eg. Health care and issues and Ontario
Browse government websites – and association websites on the Internet for information
