Instead of taking federal arrangements as a starting point, this approach focusses on the nature and characteristics of a policy problem to analyze how governance systems and actors adapt. Our research into a previous CIP in Canada-irregular border crossings-demonstrated a clear pattern of the short-term, medium-term and long-term effects that these types of problems can have on the intergovernmental system (Schertzer and Paquet, 2020) . One of the key takeaways from the surge in irregular border crossings in Canada is that a CIP evolves over time: initial periods of crisis management and collaboration can give way to intergovernmental conflict. Beyond Canada, the concept of CIPs can be used to compare responses to, and the consequences of, COVID-19 in other federations.	./cache/cord-024005-rsnf1ib0.txt	./txt/cord-024005-rsnf1ib0.txt
