Roundtable Discussion – Share your feedback on the future of standard setting in Canada

Join members of the Independent Review Committee on Standard Setting in Canada for a roundtable discussion on their Consultation Paper and the key matters explored.

Share your views and thoughts

We want your feedback on key matters such as:

• A call for action on sustainability reporting standards: The Committee recommends creating a Canadian sustainability standards board. This new board would work alongside Canada's existing standards boards and liaise with the new International Sustainability Standards Board, ensuring that the Canadian perspective is part of international decision making.
• Safeguarding independence: The Committee asks if additional safeguards are needed to keep Canadian standard setting independent, such as revisiting the current legal structure or funding model.
• Being responsive to stakeholder needs: The Committee asks if the established process for setting standards is timely and effective, including engaging the right stakeholders at the right time.

Prepare for the roundtable

For an effective group discussion, we encourage you to review these resources prior to the roundtable:

• The Committee’s handy high-level breakdown on what it is and what it’s thinking
• The Committee’s Consultation Paper
• The Committee’s webinars: Get an overview and a focus on sustainability
