Great first day of the #CPA4IR Conference, @CPA_Secretariat. Still internalizing the breadth of the presentation of Professor Robert Sparrow and the showcase of Sen. Terry Mercer, @SenTMM, Senator, Senate of Canada, @SenateCA. Great work, all.

Charting the future course of the charitable sector: is the govt now a catalyst for change? @SenTMM + I wrote an op-ed about the govt response to the #CSSB report: https://t.co/JSNX56bZDW #cdnpoli #SenCA @ipoliticsca @SenateCA @ImagineCanada

Thanks @DiLebouthillier for a thorough + open response to the #CSSB report: https://t.co/NE9wXFPSi0. I will digest it + continue to advocate for the implementation of the report’s recommendations. The #CharitableSector is too important to Canada. #cdnpoli #SenCA @SenTMM

“I want to remind colleagues that this is the third time we’ve tried to do this,” said @SenTMM, on the Senate's formal adoption of Catalyst for Change, which passed unanimously. Now it's up to the federal government to respond to the 42 recommendations. https://t.co/J6hRCjStrU

@ratnaomi @SenateCA @SenTMM @hilarypearson20 @macdjb @Phil_journal @ImagineCanada @futureofgood @SusanManwaring @o_n_n @PhilanthropyCDA @UinvitedU This is fantastic news for the sector! As a foundation we also look forward to seeing how some of these recommendations will be applied to the funding side of the philanthropy equation and not just the grantee side.
