An Accord Between the Government of Canada and the Voluntary Sector
ANNEX C - Joint Accord Table
The Joint Accord Table was formed in the fall of 2000 as part of the Voluntary Sector Initiative. The mandate of the Table was to develop the current framework document - the Accord - and associated monitoring and reporting measures that will improve the way the Government of Canada and the voluntary sector work together for the benefit of Canadians.
The Table is composed of an equal number of government officials and members of the voluntary sector and is jointly co-chaired. The work that it produces is a result of consensus between the sectors.
