For government & public agencies

Watch the other levels of government — in both official languages.

Intergovernmental and policy staff have to track what other governments are doing — a province watching federal bills, a city watching provincial regulation, an agency watching the legislature that funds it — and brief it to elected officials and deputy ministers, sourced. Clarion reads federal, nine provincial legislatures, and six city councils every night, in English and French, and cites every line back to the public record.

The intergovernmental brief

Monitoring across governments you don't control.

The decisions that shape your mandate are made at tables you don't sit at — and the briefing upward has to be both bilingual and beyond reproach.

Cross-level

The decision is at another level.

A federal bill reshapes a provincial program; a provincial regulation lands on a municipality; an agency lives or dies by the legislature that funds it. Watching the level above by hand is a standing, never-finished task.

Bilingual

The brief has to work in both languages.

A public body briefing in Canada often has to do it in English and French. Maintaining two parallel monitoring processes — or translating after the fact — burns the time the analysis needed.

Defensible

A DM brief can't carry an unsourced line.

When a briefing note reaches an elected official or a deputy minister, every claim has to trace to the record. A confident summary without the citation is a liability, not a brief.

What the public sector uses

The four capabilities that brief across governments.

Not a feature tour — the specific parts of Clarion that watch the level above, in both languages, with a citation on every line.

Every level01

Federal to municipal, one workspace.

Track Parliament, nine provincial legislatures, and six city councils together — so the program team watching federal change and the office watching the city are reading from the same board.

Native EN / FR02

Both official languages, as paired records.

Content carries paired English and French records — not a UI toggle bolted on. A bilingual briefing draws from one source, in the language the reader needs.

Board-ready odds03

Calibrated passage outlook, method shown.

When a briefing has to say whether a bill will actually pass, Clarion gives a calibrated probability with the method on the page — a defensible number for a note that goes upward.

Cited briefings04

Every line traces to the public record.

Ask Clarion a plain-language question and the answer streams back with the source rows — the bill, the regulation, the official's name. The briefing note carries its own citations.

How does the federal bill affect our provincial program?

C-49 amends the federal permitting framework that our provincial program relies on1; it's at second reading with a majority government standing2 — calibrated as likely to pass this session3 — each line traces to the public record for the DM briefing note.

Honest about what we are

Built to survive a public-sector buyer's diligence.

We tell you exactly what we ship and exactly what we don't. The application tier is Canadian-hosted; the database currently runs in the US, so we never claim Canadian data residency. We're PIPEDA-aligned with append-only audit logs and workspace isolation — and we do not hold a SOC 2 report, so we don't display one. The price is on the page, which makes a procurement review faster, not slower.

  • Canadian-hosted application tier — DB currently US, never claimed as resident
  • PIPEDA-aligned · append-only audit logs · workspace isolation
  • No SOC 2 claim — we describe only what we actually ship
  • Public CAD pricing — a procurement-friendly starting point, not a sales wall
