Michael J. Prince

[4] In 1994-95, he was the research director to the House of Commons Standing Committee on Human Resources Development for a major social security review by the Government of Canada.

He has also advised federal and provincial government ministries, departments and agencies in relation to electoral systems, employment programming, social housing, and disability income maintenance.

Prince has been a board member of a community health clinic, legal aid society, hospital society and hospital foundation, provincial association for community living, the advisory committee on children and youth with special needs to the Representative of Children and Youth for British Columbia,[5] and the social policy committee of the Council of Canadians with Disabilities.

From 2015 to 2018, Prince served on the board of directors of Inclusion BC, a non-profit organization, which promotes the participation of people with developmental disabilities in all areas of community life.

[6] In the policy world, he has made the analytical case for a medium-term sickness or disability income benefit program for Canadians.

[15] In 2016, the Institute for Research on Public Policy published a study by Prince that outlines a six-point action plan on inclusive and real employment opportunities for persons with disabilities.

The Group advises the Minister on the real-time lived experiences of persons with disabilities during this crisis on disability-specific issues, challenges and systemic gaps and on strategies, measures and steps to be taken.

Prince helped oversee the development of CLBC’s next strategic plan to support efforts to improve Indigenous relations, enhance access to inclusive housing, and increase employment.

[33][34] He has elaborated on the concept of stealth as a reform process [35] and articulated a political theory of universality in relation to income security, health care and social services.
