The Canadian Democracy and Corporate Accountability Commission is exploring a growing issue in Canadian democracy: while corporations grow in size and influence, the means of ensuring accountability for the impact of their decisions remains far behind.

Avie Bennett, Ed Broadbent, Linda Crompton, Ken Georgetti, and John LeBoutillier – are consulting with interested individuals and groups from across Canada in order to come to grips with the issue of corporate accountability.

The Commissioners will prepare a report by the end of 2001 with practical recommendations for the federal and provincial governments, the corporate sector and the social/economic justice community.
