The Citizen Round Table was an innovative consultation on ways to facilitate Quebecers’ participation in parliamentary proceedings and activities. Tying directly into the parliamentary reform launched during the 42nd Legislature, the Citizen Round Table was designed to inform parliamentary thought on mechanisms for public participation at the National Assembly, both current mechanisms and those desired by the public. In this article, the author outlines how the Citizen Round Table was formed, some of the suggestions that arose from it, and how the National Assembly has already been responsive to implementing some of its recommendations. This article is an expanded version of the text “The National Assembly of Québec’s Citizen Round Table: Boosting Quebecers’ Participation in Parliamentary Proceedings and Activities”, which appeared in The Parliamentarian: Canada Profile, 2022: Issue Two Supplement, pp. 10–12
