The article draws on survey data from a 2007-09 study of Canadian policy analysts to assess several propositions concerning the role of public managers in policy-making. It is argued that little is known and much taken for granted concerning the role public managers play in policy making. The discussion begins with a conceptual discussion of the nature of policy advice systems in modern governments and situates public managers among the range of actors who affect different stages of policy making activity. Propositions derived from this conceptual discussion are then subject to empirical analysis using a large-n 2007-09 Canadian federal, provincial, and territorial dataset.
