=====Key Insights=====
The report by Policy Horizons Canada examines the potential disruptions in governance due to societal and technological changes over the next 10 to 15 years. It identifies new actors like digital communities, decentralized organizations, and private companies that could influence government decision-making. Technologies such as social media and blockchain are enabling these actors to impact government at various levels. The report suggests that the relevance of boundaries and borders is diminishing as citizens engage in travel, work, and telework across jurisdictions, expecting seamless access to services. It highlights the need for government to adapt to these changes by transforming its organizational design and roles, potentially offering more responsive policy development, personalized services, and direct consultations. The report also notes shifts in Canadian society, such as changes in family structures, gender identity, and employment models, which may disrupt current government assumptions. The rise of a data-driven society is changing the dynamics of individual privacy and information, with citizens expecting more personalized services and privacy protection. The report concludes that the roles of government are evolving, with implications for legislation, regulation, economic opportunity, public goods provision, and national identity.\\
