The program included numerous activities to strengthen the PLC's policy and legal drafting capacities, as well as the provision of training to members on targeted institutional reform issues. From 1993 to 1999, Mr. Hubli served as a non-partisan legislative attorney and administrator with the Legislative Reference Bureau at the State of Wisconsin Legislature. During this time, Mr. Hubli was responsible for drafting all legislation concerning state finance or financial institutions, securities or commercial law; he also supervised 16 employees and supervised the compilation of the state's several-thousand page omnibus biennial budget bill. When the legislature was not in session, he took numerous leaves of absence to consult on parliamentary development in Asia, the Middle East and West Africa. He has consulted for The Asia Foundation, the National Conference of State Legislatures, the American Bar Association's Central and Eastern European Law Initiative, AECOM International Development, Associates in Rural Development, Management Systems International and Checchi & Company Consulting.

  Responsibilities and Rights of People and Parliaments in a Global Community (K. Scott Hubli, Director of Governance Programs)National Democratic Institute for International Affairs
  
  Both at Quebec City and Toronto, all delegates were taken on short trips to important places of interest within and outside these great cities.
  
  An Active Participant
  
  Venerable Rathana was an active participant in the conference proceedings and it was the opinion of many delegates that his observations on issues deliberated at the conference were quite sound, and reflected the Buddhist perspective, and that he articulated his views in a convincing manner at the various workshops.He apparently received much attention because he is a Buddhist monk and particularly because of the fact that he is the first Buddhist monk to participate in an important international conference of this nature.He drew much attention among the more than 600 Commonwealth delegates who attended this conference.It was learnt that he interacted closely with all Commonwealth leaders who were present, and helped greatly to enhance the image of the country.
  
  The Venerable Thera commented that his participation in this event was beneficial to him and that he was able to develop an extensive network of friends from Canada and other countries of the Commonwealth.Although the Speaker of the Parliament of Sri Lanka was in Canada as a part of the Sri Lankan Team of delegates to this conference, he was not seen at the Conference.It is learnt that he spent time visiting his relatives and friends in Toronto.
  
  Interaction with Sri Lankans In Canada
  
  While he was in Toronto, Venerable Rathana Thera was invited on a daily basis by several organizations including the University of Toronto and the Mahaviharaya in Toronto to make presentations on various subjects.These talks and sermons were well attended and took place in late evenings and weekends after Conference proceedings.The titles of his talks and sermons included both Buddhist and secular themes such as "Degeneration of Sri Lankan Culture", "Buddhist Approach to Development", Buddhist Meditation" "Threats and Problems faced by Buddhists in Contemporary Times" "Policies and Programs of the Jathika Hela Urumaya".He was invited to several Sri Lankan homes for sermons and discussions where he was able to explain in a convincing manner, the rationale behind the initiative of prominent Buddhist monks of the country to seek elections and enter the political realm.In her introductory remarks on Venerable Rathana Thera, the President of the University of Toronto Buddhist Community has stated " ... movement carried out by Her Excellency the Dalai Lama, a most respected monk and architect of the political movement in Tibet, these monks (of the Jathika Hela Urumaya of Sri Lanka) hope to be the voice of the people and ensure that the Buddhist philosophy and perspectives are utilized in various political situations in Sri Lanka, which is the home to the oldest tradition of Theravada Buddhsim in the world".
