Policy

Bus/Financial - Government / Politics
English term or phrase: Policy
I have a hard time grasping the exact meaning of "policy" when used as an adjective (policy issue, policy dialogue, policy research, policy group, and so many more).

Example: "Since its founding, the Institute has contributed to informed debate through rigorous, relevant and reliable research. Canada’s economic performance and social progress have always been at the heart of the IRPP’s research mandate. The current agenda builds on these principles. It focuses on economic and social POLICY priorities related to three fundamental realities that will require governments’ attention and POLICY responses in the medium to long term: the aging of Canada’s population, its growing diversity and pluralism, and the impact on Canadian competitiveness of rapidly changing patterns of global trade and production.

I know how such instances of "policy" are usually translated (priorités de politiques, priorités stratégiques, etc.), but I am still unsure of what I means.

Many thanks, merci bcp!!!
