“…The ways in which these policies have manifested have varied across the country, and even in Manitoba-which has been typically considered politically "centrist" (Frankel, 2012)-the province has actively enlisted neo-liberal reforms. These decades-long policy reforms, enacted by both left-and right-leaning governments, have manifested in tax incentives for resource extraction, privatization of Crown (i.e., publicly owned) corporations, cuts to personal and corporate taxes, reductions in public sector jobs, and restrictions in wage increases (Camfield, 2018;Jeannotte, 2010). These reforms effectively normalize discourse of austerity, subsequently constituting such reforms as inevitable and technical approaches to policy.…”

Neo-liberal reforms in education have been sweeping the globe, undermining education as a public good, and diminishing its contributions to democratic life. Using post-structural perspectives, this article provides a critical discourse analysis of a proposed legislative bill in the province of Manitoba, Canada, as it relates to the construction of the “student.” Using Foucault’s conceptualizations of governmentality and historical ontology of the subject, we interrogate the government’s proposed Bill 64 in order to reveal how policy works to constitute particular subjects. Our analysis reveals that Bill 64 constructs the student—through its relations to knowledge, others, and the self—as objectified and homogenous, and as being valued for economic contributions, thereby marginalizing other ways of being. By revealing the oppressive effects of neo-liberal discourses on students’ subjectivities, this article aims to inform educators, education researchers, and policy makers in the pursuit of more equitable educational policies and systems.

“…For example, a recent article by Patricia W. Elliott (2017) "presented as a fresh re-setting of the table, the language, and chosen focus appears in many ways to be a continuation of past neoliberal framing" (Elliott, 2017, p. 824). Further, in a series of articles for the Canadian Journal of Communication, authors explored the "neoliberal turn", specifically researching provincial cultural policy and how they argue that neoliberalism has impacted it, with case studies of Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan (Gattinger & Saint-Pierre, 2010;Jeannotte, 2010;Marontate & Murray, 2010).…”

“…Considering that, for future research, it would be interesting to continue this research further to explain why this shift occurred. As was addressed earlier in the literature, multiple scholars have researched shifts in cultural policy and have attributed these shifts to the rise in neoliberalism (Elliott, 2017;Gattinger & Saint-Pierre, 2010;Jeannotte, 2010;Marontate & Murray, 2010). For instance, Patricia Elliott (2017), when examining the Canadian Content in a Digital World consultations, describes them as "a continuation of past neoliberal framing" (p. 824).…”

From Public Interest To Creators’ Interest: An Examination Of The Policy Discourse Shifts in Canadian Broadcasting: 2003-2007

This thesis investigates the policy discourse shifts in Canadian broadcasting that occurred between 2003 and 2017 by examining two government consultation processes about Canadian broadcasting in the digital age: the 2003 “Our Cultural Sovereignty: The Second Century of Canadian Broadcasting” report, and the 2017 Canadian Content in a Digital World consultations. These two consultation processes are compared through a policy document analysis, analyzing government policy documents and stakeholders’ submissions to the consultations. Through this analysis, it was found that, although both reports stressed the necessity of policy reform, three key shifts in the policy discourse were identified: a shift from distinctly Canadian to internationally viable, a shift from cultural good to economic good, and a shift from public interest to creators’ interest. Because of these shifts, although these reports addressed similar problems about broadcasting in the digital age, the reports had considerably different outcomes regarding their policy recommendations
